Ghizlane S. Morlot

Ghizlane Morlot's first step as a director was shooting a feature documentary about renowned artist Trimpin. Since then, she has gone on to write and direct several narrative shorts, all featuring troubled women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. A native from Morocco and France, Ghizlane finds inspiration in Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's masterpieces about psychotic women and transgenders. Morlot received an M.F.A. in Television and Screenwriting from Stephens College, Columbia MO. She was granted a fellowship by the Alliance of Women Directors in Los Angeles, and participated in a six-month directing workshop with USC School of Cinematics Arts Associate Professor Jennifer Warren, as part of a diversity initiative supporting women in film. In the fall 2019, Ghizlane shadowed producer/director Randy Zisk (pre-production and production) on the set of Almost Family (Fox Television). During the 2021 pandemic, Ghizlane directed Snow on The Farm, a comedy webseries featuring women, chickens (mostly female) and goats (YouTube/IGTV). In the fall 2021, Ms. Morlot joined Gallico Productions as a producer working on several projects in development. She is attached to direct her debut feature Meet Me in The Kitchen at Midnight, a dark comedy about yet another woman on the edge.
