about me

Erin Mackellin is a filmmaker based in Melbourne, Australia.

As a child, filming on her Kodak Easyshare and editing bits of footage together sparked a passion for filmmaking. Her school teachers could never take her camera away from her, earning Erin a lunchtime detention.

Her short film, ‘the_fishbowl’ won Best Science and Technology Film at the Cannes World Film Festival as well as winning Best Original Story at the Los Angeles Film Awards.

Her love for aesthetics and architecture lead her to working as a Production Designer. Erin has worked on a variety of mediums as a Production Designer; including the feature film, ‘Westgate’ which premiered at MIFF 2025 and screened at SXSW Sydney 2025.

She is the Production Designer of the upcoming feature films, Ramblin’ and Paper Doll - both set to release in 2026.

With a background in both Direction and Production Design, she thrives on the collaboration between Director and Production Designer, seamlessly blending narrative and aesthetics with a sense of childlike wonder.

When she isn’t on set, Erin is probably staying up until the early hours of the morning researching maps, development projects and theories about the universe.

Erin is currently working on her next short film, Circumference as a Writer/Director, along with some long form projects in the works.
