The Creative Force
Cheryl Bayliss is a British writer-director working in horror and dark comedy. Her films fuse genre
with character-driven storytelling and a mischievous sensibility.
A hands-on filmmaker, she builds the worlds she destroys, crafting sets, creating practical effects
and shaping each project from concept through to final edit.
Her award-winning short films have screened internationally, earning recognition for their offbeat
humour and layered narratives. Her work balances the unsettling with the absurd, and her bold
creative choices define her confident cinematic voice.
