Chandler Barbee is an award-winning filmmaker, performer, and storyteller based in L.A. where she writes emotionally deranged action movies for a living. She's originally from a tiny town in Alabama, which explains a lot.
She got her start in comedy and improv, performing in basements and black boxes before pivoting into writing. Her scripts now feature fewer punchlines and more actual punches. She recently made her directorial debut with PREACHER'S DAUGHTER, a 35mm short film beginning its festival run in Fall 2026, and previously completed rewrites on BALLERINA for Lionsgate. Chandler's current slate includes a sci-fi feature in development with Oddball, two action features with top tier producers, two short stories, and several genre-benders in progress.
Chandler's voice is kinetic blending grit, style and dark humor. Her roots are in performance, her heart's in action, and her dream is to blow something up - on screen.
Chandler Is currently available in Los Angeles.
Check out BALLERINA streaming on Amazon & HBOMax and her directorial debut - PREACHER'S DAUGHTER - will be available for a festival run Fall 2026.
