Kayden Phoenix is a visionary Chicana writer and director from Boyle Heights, California. With a fearless approach to storytelling, her films have made a powerful impact on the festival circuit, with her latest work being screened at Cinequest and Outfest, and being acquired by Gunpowder & Sky’s horror platform, Alter, which boasts over 3 million subscribers.


Kayden is a semi-finalist for 2025 Sundance Development Track, a semi-finalist for Universal Animation Writer's Program, a Film Fatales Fellowship Finalist for Stowe Story Lab, a 2024 Stowe Narrative Lab Alumni, a quarter-finalist for Final Draft's Big Break Screenwriting Contest, and recipient of Panavision’s New Filmmaker Program.


In 2024, Kayden made history by creating the first-ever Latina superhero team in comic book history with her graphic novels, A LA BRAVA, now under the Andrews McMeel Publishing banner. For all-ages, she launched Princess Academia, a modern-day princess adventures series that redefines the genre. She's also partnered with Ghezal Omar through Artillery Network with mature action-packed stories. Her latest comic, Lipstick Cliqa, a gripping three-part series about a Latina vampire gang, was slated by Sony Music Entertainment.


Beyond her creative projects, Kayden is deeply committed to empowering Latina voices in the film industry. She founded the Chicana Directors Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and elevating Latina directors and cinematographers.


"My mission is to amplify stories that reflect the complexity, vibrancy, and diversity of the real world," Kayden says. Her work is not just about breaking barriers—it's about setting new standards for what’s possible in independent cinema and graphic novels. As a visionary storyteller, Kayden Phoenix is reshaping the landscape of entertainment, one groundbreaking project at a time.
