Lilly Dickinson is a transgender director, writer, and film music composer from western Massachusetts. Since 2011 Dickinson has been writing, directing, and scoring micro budget DIY Short and Feature Length films that explore existential questions, mental health, and identity. With metaphoric imagery and voyeuristic cinematography, Dickinson’s abstract narratives mix the disorienting and harsh world of nonlinear storytelling with vignettes of vulnerability and intimacy. Dickinson’s first feature film The Making of a Deathbed premiered at the New Hampshire Film Festival in 2022 and was awarded Outstanding Achievement in the Experimental Feature category at the 2023 Massachusetts Independent Film Festival. Dickinson’s music scores and sound designs have also been featured in films screened at the New York Film Festival in Lincoln Center and the NYC Performa Biennial in 2021. Since graduating with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Film and Video from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2017, Dickinson has worked as a Video Producer and Production Coordinator for Berklee College of Music’s online school, Berklee Online. Dickinson has produced over 1000 videos for over 25 Bachelor and Masters courses for the school’s online learning platform. Dickinson was the Producer on the course, “Electronic Music Performance Techniques” that landed Berklee Online a Silver Telly Award in 2021.

​

           In parallel with her films, Dickinson has been writing and performing original music from a young age covering a broad spectrum of genres and musical influence. Including her most recent synth-pop-comedy solo project 'Blips', all of Dickinsons' music favors honesty and intimacy.
