Erin Doyle Cooper is a creative-turned-commercial director who makes character-driven, cross-genre films that challenge the status quo. Thanks to a background as a classically trained actor, improviser, and advertising creative, her brand work combines thoughtfully composed images with achingly human stories. Before transitioning to directing full-time, she was VaynerMedia’s first CD, and spent two years in-house at Pepsi, where she and a partner led advertising creative for Lady Gaga’s Halftime Show and the Super Bowl spot starring Cindy Crawford.

As a narrative filmmaker, Erin’s shorts have been selected at major fests including the Oscar-Qualifying Atlanta, Cleveland, Cinequest, Indy Shorts, and HollyShorts Film Festivals. Her film Believe Her, starring Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Allison Tolman, won Best Global Short: Narrative at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, and True Love Waits, a short about growing up in purity culture, has over 100K views on YouTube.
