Clare Sackler was born in Oklahoma City but raised just outside New York City. The first film she made as a teenager, a Charlie Chaplin inspired short, set the comedic tone that has since tried its best to sneak into each of her films. After graduating from Duke University, she spent several years working in the film industry in Los Angeles. She is currently pursuing an MFA in directing and writing at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and developing her first feature as her thesis film.
