Mathilde Hauducoeur is a French-American writer and director. She holds an MFA in Screenwriting and Directing from Columbia University, and a BA in Film Studies from Sarah Lawrence College. Her work explores the intricacies of female friendship—the constant interplay between violence and sparkles deeply fascinates her. Mathilde's short film Ailes d'Ange et Plaies Ouvertes (Angel Wings and Open Wounds) has screened in Paris and New York, and her short film Pillow Talk will have its festival premiere this Spring. She is currently developing her first feature screenplay, Sylvie’s Weekend, which was selected for Cine Qua Non’s 2023 Script Revision Lab.
