Kryzz Gautier is a Queer, Afro-Latina, formerly undocumented writer/director/producer from the Dominican Republic. As the only child of a disabled mother, Kryzz spent most of her formative years entertaining herself, which sparked her knack for creating complex worlds filled with three-dimensional characters. She channels this colorful background into her novel sci-fi narratives and character-driven dramas. Since transitioning from undocumented to citizen, Kryzz has written for an HBO series, served as a writer and creative consultant on 2K Games' BIOSHOCK 4, and worked on a variety of other projects across film and television. She has developed with or sold projects to studios like Sony, Universal, Stage 13, and Film4, among others. A number of her projects have been distributed by HBO Max, Hulu, and DUST. Her feature script WHEELS COME OFF is the first in The Black List's 20-year history to appear on three separate lists: The Annual Black List 2021, The Black List: The GLAAD List 2024, and The Black List: The Disability List 2024. She's been named one of Netflix's "Directors On The Rise" and participated in programs like NBC's "Female Forward", Locarno Film Festival's "Match Me!", San Sebastian Film Festival's "Meet Them", Starz's #TakeTheLead, Ryan Murphy's "Half Initiative", Joey Soloway's "Disruptors", The Sundance Institute, The DGA, the Dominican Film Commission's Development Labs, Stowe Story Labs' Narrative Lab, and was a semi-finalist in The Academy's Nicholl Fellowship In Screenwriting.
