A British-Japanese filmmaker with a flare for telling human stories, captured with sweeping cinematics and intimate portraits. She is passionate about bridging intersections and re-centering marginalised voices, particularly within the East Asian community. This is focused through her work as Director of Rising Waves, an organization dedicated to amplifying British East and South East Asian (BESEA) voices across the arts and media industries.

Most recently, she was selected for Ones to Watch by the TV Foundation and as a 2024 Breakthrough Leader by the TV Collective.

Georgie has directed an award-winning body of work across series, films, and podcasts for outlets such as Netflix, Channel News Asia, and the BBC. Her work explores the intersections of human interest and socio-political issues, tackling complex subjects such as racial identity in Japan, rising anti-feminism in South Korea, hostage negotiations with Boko Haram, and trauma recovery in war veterans.
