A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama, Producing, and Entertainment Business, Carley debuted as a filmmaker with the award-winning short ‘Everything I Never Told You’, which screened at major festivals worldwide. She went on to produce the world premiere of Clifford Odets’ ‘The Nursery’ and is currently in post-production on her narrative short ‘Can’t You See I’m Trying’.
Her roots are planted in the queer beach community of Fire Island Pines, where she grew up immersed in the musical theatre space. Carley was inevitably influenced and constantly inspired by the lush history of the Fire Island Pines creatives that came before her and continue to guide her.
With a distinct voice rooted in actor-driven storytelling and poetic imagery, Carley brings a bright, emotionally intuitive perspective to every project—telling pivotal stories that resonate across identities, generations, and genres.
Carley Lovito is a writer, director, producer and actor dedicated to creating pivotal stories that center women and queer voices.
