Zoie Chambers is a screenwriter and visual storyteller currently pursuing an MFA in Screenwriting at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Media Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and previously worked as a Visual Storytelling Scripter at Pocket Gems, where she helped create interactive, narrative-driven games. From a young age, Chambers was captivated by storytelling, recreating stories through drawings, theater, and imaginative play. Her curiosity about human behavior—shaped by close observation of everyday life, including time spent birdwatching with her grandmother who experienced dementia—sparked a lasting interest in psychology and sociology and a desire to understand the “why behind the why.” Her work explores human fears and desires through narratives that blend time travel, science, and technology with deeper historical and societal themes. She is drawn to moments of transformation, using symbolism and layered storytelling to reveal the emotional and psychological truths of her characters. Her feature screenplay G.R.A.D. reflects this approach, following a young Black woman confronting inherited family trauma through time travel, uncovering the silences and unseen forces that shape identity. Through her storytelling, Chambers aims to create emotionally resonant work that challenges, moves, and inspires audiences.
