About the director
Born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York, Caché Petters-Matthews has been an avid reader and writer of a variety of stories from a young age.

Her art is honest and personal, exploring identity, change, and life.
She loves to direct and edit shorts, music videos, and documentaries. She is a writer and is currently working on her next short, Made of Hellfyre, and her feature. Caché graduated from DePaul University with an M.F.A. in Film and TV Directing and her thesis film, Curse Breakers, is currently touring festivals.
