Sylvia Toy St. Louis - Invidious

Sylvia Toy St. Louis

I am a middle-class Black American housewife who makes Arthouse movies in my livingroom. I develop script, character and production design using performance art and Method Acting techniques. My movies are rehearsed and produced with continuity. As a dramatist and filmmaker I have been most influenced by Theatre of the Absurd, German Expressionism, the New Wave, and filmmakers Dreyer, Cocteau, Bunuel and Rybczyński.

Special recognition: Outstanding Achievement, Calcutta International Cult FF; Special Mention, Athens International Monthly Art FF; Best Women’s Film, L’Age d’Or International Arthouse FF; Senses of Cinema Top Films of 2019; Best Animated Feature Film, Hazel Eye Film Festival (2019); Best Fx Design, FICOCC #13 (2018); Grand Jury Award (2016) & Gold Award (2018), L.A.N.N.E.F.F.
