Daisy Rosendale

Daisy Rosendale is an award-winning film director, writer and editor. She is best known for mixing traditional and experimental cinematic styles to create anxious, visceral atmospheres within her films. She often explores themes of identity, religion, and alienation with an absurd, satirical flavor of surreal horror-comedy.

Besides film, she is an active creative collaborator in the underground music and drag performance scenes of Philadelphia. She is also a published photographer and the recipient of the 2022 Peter Rose Award, which celebrates filmmakers working in experimental and hybrid modes.
