Based in Los Angeles, Elizabeth Archer is a left-of-center director + writer who creates stories rooted in vibrant, stylized worlds and has a funny bone for offbeat, comedic filmmaking. Her cheeky sensibility, visual aesthetic and playful tone breathes life into both her narrative and commercial work. She explores the absurdities of modern life from an emotional palette of both subtle, nuanced performances and hilarious physical comedy.

During her time in Los Angeles, Elizabeth has worked for companies such as Hello Sunshine, Netflix and most recently, as a treatment designer at PRETTYBIRD. She has directed dozens of comedic short films, sketches and commercials - most notably for Spotify and Almost Friday TV. Her latest short film, Two Women Make a Lunch Plan, premiered at Palm Springs Short Fest (nominated for Best Comedy Short and Best Midnight Short) and has gone on to play at over ten festivals like LA Shorts, Silver Lake Shorts and Salute Your Shorts. She recently directed a six-part workplace comedy series, Bosses, starring Keke Palmer for KeyTV. She is currently writing various dark comedy feature film scripts....stayed tuned.

In 2025, Elizabeth created Tell Me I’m Funny - a quarterly, one-hour comedy event featuring women and nonbinary stand-up comics and short films, followed by a networking mixer where comedians and filmmakers can connect. Elizabeth is signed across the board at 42 Management & Production for directing/writing, at SLMBR PRTY for U.S. commercials and as a freelance treatment designer at the Betterment Society.
