PAIGE WOOD is an award-winning filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer working across narrative and documentary film, animation, interactive theatre, and video games–her work recognized by the likes of BlackStar Film Festival, Tribeca Festival, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and Apple. From 2019 to 2023, Paige served as the Supervising Producer for the Rise-Home Stories Project, which brought together artists and advocates to reimagine the stories told about land and home. She also previously acted as the Supervising Producer for the Detroit Narrative Agency's 24-25 Emerging Filmmaker Fellowship. Currently, Paige is producing the feature film RECKLESS SPIRITS on location in Oaxaca, developing two adult-comedy series for television as both a writer and co-creator, co-designing a solar-punk video game set in future Detroit, and releasing an action-comedy, 2D-animated short film as her directorial debut in 2026.

Paige is a 2025 PAMCUT Sustainability Lab Fellow, 2024 Film Independent Episodic Lab Fellow, 2022 Gotham TV Lab Fellow, 2021-2022 USC Annenberg Civic Media Fellow, 2020 Kresge Artist Fellow, and a 2019 Sundance | Knight Foundation Fellow. Often exploring serious themes in fantastical yet unserious ways, Paige tells stories between the realm of the surreal and all-too-real by building new, radically-imaginative worlds that satirize and expose the absurdity of our everyday reality.
