About Esther

British-born and now based in New York by way of Los Angeles, Esther began her career in public relations, shaping campaigns for major consumer, lifestyle, and fashion brands.

Her film and TV work is defined by a commitment to exploring human nature and uncovering deeper truths about the world we live in. Esther’s producing and directing credits include Grass is Greener (Netflix), Empires of New York (CNBC), and multiple films for The New York Times Presents, where she served as showrunner and executive producer. Her contributions to the acclaimed FX/Hulu documentary series include The Legacy of J Dilla and Weight of the World (both of which she also co-directed), as well as The Sin Eater: The Crimes of Anthony Pellicano and Broken Horses.

A thoughtful and intentional leader, Esther excels at guiding creative teams through complex productions. Empathetic, thoughtful, and deeply invested in the people she works with. She believes the best creative work happens when a team feels trusted and supported, and she brings that same quality of attention to her collaborators that she brings to her subjects.
