Trudy Bellinger is a British, boundary-pushing Director, Producer and Creative Director based between the UK and the USA, whose work fuses bold storytelling with striking visual style.

From shaping music culture as Senior VP at EMI Records to directing award-winning videos and campaigns for icons like Kate Moss, Twiggy and Rita Moreno, Trudy has built a career defined by imagination, energy and attitude. A former freelance Commissioner and Creative Director for labels including Universal and Sony, her creative leadership also extends to brand storytelling — most notably with Maison Margiela’s Mutiny fragrance campaign, which made waves across global publications including Vogue.

Trudy is also a sought-after keynote speaker, podcast guest and TV presenter, sharing her insights on creativity, music and women in film. Her cinematic eye and instinct for emotion have earned awards for music videos, as well as Promax and Clio honours for television hits including Project Runway, The Masked Singer, Scandal and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

Beyond the screen, Trudy’s passion for fashion and sustainability shines through Rack n Roll — her curated collection of pre-loved designer and vintage clothing, reflecting her distinctive eye for style, character and reinvention.

A fierce advocate for women behind the camera, Trudy continues to craft fearless, female-led stories from acclaimed short films to upcoming documentaries.
