Director biography

- Mia Ainsley

A young woman with blonde hair, wearing a black t-shirt and a baseball cap, standing in front of a textured wall with a wave pattern on the left and a plain white wall on the right.

My name is Mia Ainsley and I'm currently in my final year at the Northern Film School. I have a strong passion for filmmaking and cinema, in particular writing and directing, and especially love anything sci-fi related. We created “Down by the Sea” as one of our second year projects, which was an amazing experience, and I am very proud of everyone who helped make it happen!
