Monica Arsenault

My work addresses issues at the intersection of faith, womanhood, and sexuality. My goal as an artist is to bring communities together through diverse storytelling. Projects that I've written, directed and/or produced have been internationally recognized at over 20 different film festivals and can be viewed at their ongoing festival screenings.
Most recently, I directed Lydia Granered's first music video for her song, Weekend. I'm currently in pre-production to direct two new short films, Young Minds of America by Danny Epstein & Derek Rushing and Mirror Mila featuring Lindsey Sagrera.
You can see my original web series, Nun Habits, screening at Cinequest this August. .
