Ezra (they/them) is a filmmaker living on Lenape land/New York City. They often focus on stories of queer and trans community, experiences of disability, and historically suppressed voices. Between 2018 and 2023, Ezra worked with MasterClass.com, proudly contributing to classes with people like Roxane Gay, Robin Roberts, and Madhur Jaffrey.

Ezra has directed several short films including: Clown Tits, an experimental meditation on dysphoria told through drag, dance, and queer history, and Like, Mamma Mia?, a comedy film about a woman who has the idea for Mamma Mia the musical, only discover it’s already been made.

Ezra is working on a documentary project, Paper Ties, about the radical history of trans newsletters. They will use the Woodward Residency to develop the visual language of the film's animation, pairing archival research with audio of recorded interviews to experiment with physical and digital stop-motion animation.
