Beatrice Pegard is a French-Australian writer and director. She received an MA and a PhD in Political and Environmental Sciences, studied writing at Harvard and trained at the Atlantic Theatre Company Acting School before attending the Sydney Film School and turning her hand to directing.

Whilst experimenting with sustainable filmmaking, which she applies to her creative process whenever possible, she began testing new ways to play with the cinema of old – silent and propaganda cinema, the New Wave, stop-motion animation and avant-garde 1970s auteur films, exploring theoretical concepts and in-camera effects in music videos for the likes of Grizzly Bear and The Midnight Juggernauts.
