Carrie Lederer

Chicago, Illinois, U.S.

Carrie Lederer is the quintessential one-woman band filmmaker, nicknamed “Carrier Pigeon” for her global

reach and decades of on-the-ground storytelling. Her multi-decade career spans unscripted television for

major networks, independent documentaries, and nonprofit-driven social impact films across a wide range

of genres and locations. Combining cinematographic expertise with journalistic instinct, she creates

immersive, human-centered narratives and builds deep connections with the people she documents. Now

based in Portland, Oregon, Carrie returns to documentary filmmaking with her short directorial debut, Wild

Horses at the Door.
