LaChelle Chrysanne is a writer and director whose work centers on bold, intimate storytelling with a focus on underrepresented voices. Rooted in themes of identity, belonging, and community, her directorial style blends visual sensitivity with a grounded, character-driven approach. Her debut short film, One of the Guys, was a recipient of Blacktag and Johnnie Walker’s First Strides grant. She is an award-winning creative producer, with production credits that include high-impact projects such as HBO Max's Black & Missing projection mapping activation at The Reginald F. Lewis Museum and TONE, an affirmational podcast for Black and Latinx women and non-binary people by Planned Parenthood, which earned an Anthem Silver Award for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. At the core of all her work—whether narrative or commercial—is a commitment to telling emotionally resonant stories that challenge convention, spark dialogue, and build community.
