ABOUT ME
Ceirra Burton grew up in a single parent household in Pasadena, CA, where she took comfort in the sights, sounds, and stories of old Hollywood, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and female action heroes. When she wasn’t playing sports, Ceirra turned to creative writing to create stories about a young black queer girl trying to find her way in the world. After graduating from AMDA College of the Performing Arts with a bachelor’s degree in acting, Ceirra set out to create comedic and dramatic stories about the black, queer, and female experience. She dove headfirst into exploring the way people interacted with themselves and the world around them through witty and absurd or dark and psychological situations. Pushing her to start her own production company, 92ARTIST Productions, where she continued making short films and web series showcasing complex characters subverting stereotypes.
