Born and raised in London, Margot Bowman uses film to build bridges, accessible spaces of possibility and power that connect us to ourselves and each other. 

WILD CARD, her debut narrative feature, is in development with the BFI. Most recently, she co-directed Amazon Prime’s highly anticipated documentary feature THE TOUR, a 90-minute film about the relaunch of Victoria Secret’s iconic fashion show, reimagined through the lens of 20 diverse women artists from around the world. 

Her documentary COMING HOME which premiered at SXSW 2022, was awarded Best Short at the prestigious Palestine Cinema Days, and was shortlisted for the International Documentary Association’s films of the year. These powerful experiences are built off her natural ability to connect with people and bring their stories to screen with intimacy and style.

As a self-taught filmmaker, Bowman’s visually striking work is textured with thoughtful animation, CGI or archive woven into poetic live-action footage. This medium-agnostic approach to storytelling creates a rich visual language that reframes the familiar so that audiences connect with the story at hand in new and original ways.

Growing up in Camden, Margot is consistently inspired by her home city’s legacy of club culture, creativity, freedom of expression and community. Formerly the Creative Director of Boiler Room, she has since directed commercials for major clients including Adobe, Nike, Dr Martens, Carhartt and Byredo, with narrative and documentary commissions from the likes of Channel4, The Tate, Dazed and NOWNESS.
