Bio

Diane Russo Cheng

Diane is a filmmaker and photographer whose work has a raw emotional edge. Her films feel physical and intimate, combining movement, texture and mixed media with a natural rapport she builds with athletes, actors and real people alike. 

Beginning her career in fashion photography, Diane brings a sharp visual eye to her storytelling, while her East Coast Italian-American roots and queer identity deeply inform her perspective. Drawn to stories of identity, connection and resilience, she's as interested in the struggle as the triumph.

In her personal work, Diane is committed to telling stories centred on women and her LGBTQ+ community.
