Directing Portfolio
My name is Elena Cramer and I am a director based out of NYC. I am passionate about developing new work as well as bringing fresh perspective to classic pieces. My favorite things to work on are queer, woman focused, scary, messy, or any combination of the above. I love crafting moments (both emotional and physical) that feel surprising yet inevitable and leave a big impact. My background in acting, costuming, producing, and assistant stage management allows me to communicate well with people on all parts of my team and to understand their needs.

Tensions are running high on an annual family camping trip — and the onset of the zombie apocalypse sure doesn’t help. Disputes over parenting, pronouns, and privacy give way to a fight for survival as a family wrestles with its own monstrosity. In hereditary horror grease my chin, family secrets and passed-down prejudices come to light around the campfire in a blood-splattered battle between three generations.
