Amy Seimetz first came to prominence producing and directing shorts and
independent films. Most notably associate producing Barry Jenkins'
Medicine For Melancholy which was nominated for Gotham and Independent
Spirit Awards, after playing at South By Southwest and the Toronto
International Film Festival.
She became notable as an actress after her performance in Joe
Swanberg's Alexander The Last, a Noah Baumbach produced film which
premiered at SXSW. This was the first of three films she worked on
under the direction of Mumblecore king Joe Swanberg, including Silver
Bullets (Berlin, SXSW) and Autoerotic. She continued her streak of
solid indie performances in Lawrence Levine's "Gabi On The Roof In
July", Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture (SXSW), Kentucker Audley's "Open
Five", and David Robert Mitchell's Myth of the American Sleepover
(Cannes).
Her performance in Adam Wingard's horror thriller A Horrible Way To Die
won her the Best Actress award at Fantastic Fest, the biggest genre
film festival in the US. The film premiered at the Toronto
International Film Festival to rave reviews.
Seimetz is probably most known for her performance in the Megan
Griffiths drama "The Off-Hours", which premiered at the Sundance film
festival in 2011.
The Hollywood Reporter singled her out as one of the breakouts of
Sundance that year, alongside Brit Marling, Elizabeth Olsen, and
Felicity Jones.
Seimetz rounded out an all-star cast in the Tribeca Film Festival
premiere Revenge For Jolly directed by Chadd Harbold. The ensemble cast
included Kristen Wiig, Elijah Wood, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Dillahunt,
Ryan Phillippe, Gillian Jacobs, Adam Brody and Brian Petsos. The film
marked a reunion for Seimetz with her co-stars Wiig, Dilahunt, and
Petsos from the Chadd Harbold short film "One Night Only".
In 2012 Seimetz made her narrative feature directorial debut with her
Floridian thriller Sun Don't Shine, which she also wrote, produced, and
co-edited. The film premiered at the South By Southwest film festival
