Amber Williams is a Brooklyn-based writer, director, and producer who’s passionate about telling coming-of-age stories that center young Black women. Her work primarily focuses on the teenage and young adult experience while incorporating themes of identity, self-worth, love, and belonging.

Amber obtained a bachelor's degree in Media and Society at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and later pursued an Master in Fine Arts in Writing for Film and Television at Emerson College. Her debut film, Amidst All The Noise, is an upcoming romantic short exploring themes of vulnerability, self-love, and longing.
