Kelsey Scult is a New Orleans-based filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist. Her work explores the femme processing of inherited memory, the psychic untangling of intimate partner violence and the physical intersection of desire and decay. She produced the ‘21 Sundance Audience Award-winning feature film, Ma Belle, My Beauty (dir. Marion Hill), which explored a queer polyamorous relationship between three musicians in southern France and opened in over 40 theaters nationwide. She is an alumna of the New Orleans Film Society Southern Producers Lab and The Gotham’s Narrative La (formerly IFP). She's the new Co-Manager of Creative Programming at the New Orleans Video Access Center (NOVAC). Kelsey has exhibited her visual artwork nationally and abroad, most recently at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art where she was one of the 2021 "Louisiana Contemporary" juror-selected best in show artists. She is currently one of the inaugural Southern Foodways Alliance Filmmakers in Residence. She received her MFA in Film from the University of New Orleans. Kelsey is immensely grateful to be living and working amongst the creative community of New Orleans.
