Hillary Sproul is a New York-based actress and filmmaker. Her directorial debut, Linnea — which she also wrote and stars in — serves as a proof of concept for a feature currently in development. Her previous film, Border Line, was nominated for Best Drama at the 2023 Atlanta Women’s Film Festival.
Growing up in the woods of northern Maine, she found in film an early outlet for her fascination with people — their relationships, desires and inner lives. That fascination has remained a throughline in her work, from acting and filmmaking to journalism, where she has interviewed filmmakers including Alejandro Jodorowsky, Ruben Östlund and Gaspar Noé.
When she’s not building worlds, she’s exploring them — through travel, movement and an endless curiosity about the people she meets along the way.
