Lucy McNulty (she/her) is an award-winning actor, filmmaker, and founder of Strange Company Productions, a boutique production company dedicated to championing underrepresented voices and telling female-centered, socially conscious stories. Her directorial debut CHICKEN—which she wrote, directed, produced, and starred in—won Jury’s Choice and the DEAI Award at the Thomas Edison Film Festival, alongside a Leo Award, Best Script at Santa Barbara ShortFest, and Best Performance at Oska Bright (UK). The film was acquired by CBC and screened at over 40 international festivals.
Through Strange Company, Lucy has produced a growing slate of acclaimed films including Attendance (Whistler 2024, Pendance 2025), The Ballad of Niall McNeil (a spaghetti western musical created by and starring Niall McNeil), Rupture (about the gender pain gap), and How Brief, starring Emmy-winner Tatiana Maslany and directed by Kelly McCormack.
She is also a co-founder of DropShock Pictures, producing the genre-breaking feature Hunting Matthew Nichols, named one of Deadline’s “2025 Horror Movies to Watch.”
A graduate of Studio 58’s acting conservatory and a 2024 resident of the CFC’s Norman Jewison Film Program, Lucy serves as President of Wet Ink Collective—a writer-led initiative for women in film and theatre. She’s drawn to bold, character-driven storytelling and is committed to making films that challenge convention, reflect the complexity of real life, and expand who gets to be seen and heard on screen.
