Harlow Brooks
Co-Founder
Harlow Brooks has found her footing through the stories she has collected throughout her life. She was raised in Healdsburg, California, a small wine town in Northern California where the connectedness of her tight-knit community became the inspiration for the specific yet wide-reaching narratives. Harlow focuses on painting worlds with strong female leads, because it is what she knew growing up with a single mother. Her debut short film, A Touch of Sexual Assault, has been shown in conferences globally dealing with the issue of violence against women, along with reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers online. During her time at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Harlow’s filmmaking has reached a new maturity and level of complexity that she accredits to the support she has received from her talented faculty and peers.
