Amanda Ivy West

How does a woman get ahead in the male-dominated world of motorsports racing? Australia native Amanda Ivy West has succeeded where few other women have dared to venture. She is the director of choice for the crème de la crème of motorsports movies and her production company, Bad Billy, is consistently hired by the biggest global brands and professional top-tier racing teams. Justifiably recognised as a trailblazer in the male-dominated industry of motorsport film productions, West is changing the tone and direction of sports documentary story telling. Known for breaking down barriers to highlight women and minorities, she provides a real voice for those previously overlooked, inclusive across cultural, age, gender and racial diversities. Directing the highly successful Red Bull Media House co-production, Ride United, which told the real life stories of thirty-three of the world's top motorcycle racers and with the soon-to-be released Rockstar Energy PepsiCo motorcycle film, The Dirty Dozen, she is looking forward to embarking on her next directorial adventures in 2021 with three exciting new, high octane sports movies filmed in the USA, England, Spain, France, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, Australia and Wales.
