Eunice Levis

Writer and director, Eunice Levis is a first-generation Dominican American from the Bronx, New York. Eunice's work focuses on genre-bending stories that combine her love of horror, sci-fi, thriller and fantasy through a diasporic lens. She is a two-time Sundance Lab Second Rounder, a Stowe Story Lab Fellow, and a Netflix/NALIP Women of Color Short Film Incubator fellow. Eunice's folklore horror micro short "Fell Ends" was an extraordinary selection at NYX's 13 minutes of horror film festival and streamed on Shudder.

Her latest film, "Ro & the Stardust," a space fantasy short was selected for inclusion in the 2021 NALIP Latino Lens Women of Color Short Film Incubator, sponsored by Netflix. In addition to writing and directing, Eunice teaches and cohosts "Café Negro con Genre" (with fellow filmmaker Les Rivera), a podcast that promotes creatives working in the genre space.

Eunice is a graduate of New York University and is managed by 3 Arts Entertainment
