Hi, I’m Abby. I’m a director, a teaching artist, an activist, an actor, and a writer… but I’m keeping my options open.

I have been working in prisons and jails doing improv theater for the last 9 years.

My short film, “So, Boom” is next up. It’s about Sweet Tea as she prepares her younger sister for jail through a series of how-to tutorials and lessons she learned from her own time locked up.

Assistant Director: Hans Augustave, Director: Abby Pierce, Director of Photography: Jason Chiu, and Actor: Marisa Razo

Watch The short I directed - “Eat Your Heart Out”

“Go Ahead, Grab Time By The Throat” has become one of my favorite short films that I’ve seen in the past few years and I almost can't explain why… by the end, to quote the film itself, “it feels f**king great.”
