Chloe Lou Ireland
Chloe Ireland is a writer/director based in the Southwest of England. She grew up in Blackpool, a common setting for much of her work. A love of storytelling led Chloe to start writing scripts in high school, making short films with her friends. After this she caught the film bug and hasn’t stopped creating since!
Chloe, in all her work, has always aimed to represent topics important to her by shedding light on social issues through the lens of humour and creative writing. She’s especially interested in promoting diverse representation in-front and behind the camera.
