Director BIO: Rachel Econ (WIDOW)

Eccentric, fowl-mouthed, and a little grungy, writer and director Rachel Econ strives to bring powerful female centric action stories onto the screen. Born in Harrogate England, but raised in southern Arizona, Rachel has always found herself surrounded by history. A lover of adventure, the macabre, and a good gun fight, Rachel grew up on old Hollywood movies and 90’s action flicks. The scorching summers of her desert hometown of Tucson allowed for plenty of time for the movie binges and novel benders that fueled her love cinema and a good story eventually leading her to graduate from Loyola Marymount University with her BA in Film and Television Production. When she’s not writing or in production, Rachel is an avid crafter always looking for something to create.
