Conner De Mita

Conner De Mita is a writer/director from Los Angeles. His work focuses on the eerie and uncomfortable, told through an experimental, genre-driven lens. De Mita is partially deaf, which (somewhat) explains his interest in isolated characters struggling to connect. He graduated from NYU Tisch with a BFA in Film and Television, then received his MFA from the AFI Conservatory as a Directing Fellow. His first short "Brother X" competed at the 2019 Vancouver Queer Film Festival. He was a Telluride Film Lab Fellow (2022) and ScreenCraft Finalist with his AFI thesis film, "Wake" which premiered in 2023.
