Elizabeth Rodgers

Writer. Storyteller. Filmmaker.

About Me

I tell stories across genres and mediums—on the page, on the screen, and sometimes under open skies.

I’ve made films that have traveled to festivals and classrooms around the world. I’ve written screenplays, essays, travel pieces, and my first novel is almost ready. Comedy is often my entry point, even when the subject is serious. Along the way, I’ve developed work with Showtime, Carsey-Werner, and Paramount, and received support from arts and humanities councils and private foundations.

I also make short documentaries about fellow artists—one of my favorite things to do—and collaborate with purpose-driven companies and travel platforms to shape their stories with care and clarity.

At the heart of it, I’m always trying to translate complexity into something meaningful. Something human. Something that lingers.
