Power Speaker Series: Angel Kristi Williams

Angel Kristi Williams is an award winning writer/director born and raised in West Baltimore, Maryland. She was 8 years old when her late father gave her a VHS camcorder which sparked her love for storytelling. After studying visual art, photography and experimental film, Angel developed a filmmaking voice that embraces silence and the power of the image to tell a story. Her feature directorial debut Really Love, produced by MACRO, won the Special Jury Recognition for Acting at SXSW. Angel has been supported by Sundance Institute as a Momentum Fellow, Film Independent Project Involve and ReFrame Rise. Angel is an NAACP Award Winner for Outstanding Breakthrough Creative in Directing for her first episode of television for the Netflix limited series Colin in Black and White. She splits time between Baltimore and Los Angeles and received an MFA in Directing from Columbia College Chicago.
