LILY CORKE BUTTERS
Head of Strategy & Progression, Oxygen Films
Lily has had experience in a variety of roles on different projects both during and outside of her time at The Northern Film School. She has worked as Unit Production Manager on three shoots with Oxygen Films as well as being a freelance Editor on various projects over the last two years. Her work has included experimental shorts, short documentaries and short dramas.
​
When she is writing and directing, Lily’s work focuses on themes of sexuality, identity and gender - always pulling inspiration from her own experiences. She finds endless inspiration from filmmakers such as Agnès Varda, Céline Sciamma, Cheryl Dunye, Rose Troche and Joanna Hogg. Lily is driven by an urgent need to create more films for and about young women which delve into the stories and experiences that are often left out of mainstream cinema.
