Amy Roy
Amy Roy
Amy Roy was born and raised in Philadelphia. She made her directorial debut at age ten, helming the neighborhood’s annual Christmas pageant. There were mandatory rehearsals, a script revision to the main character’s birth and hot chocolate to keep the talent happy. Too scared to try and become a real artist, Amy graduated from Penn State and became a copywriter, working in the ad industry for over ten years.
After years of unhappiness, Amy made the leap and went back to film school in Vancouver, starting her life all over again. She moved to L.A. a year later and has been working in the industry ever since, as an assistant to various writers and directors. Today, she works for the Donners’ Company, and considers it a great honor to work with Richard Donner and Lauren Shuler Donner.
Recently, she wrote four issues of the Smooth Criminals comic book series for Boom! Entertainment. She wrote and produced the short film Rent Control, which was screened at over a dozen film festivals, including the DC Independent, winning the audience award at three. She produced the short film Of Darkness, accepted to over 100 horror festivals. The Lonely Store marks her (official) directorial debut.
