Cynthia Silver is an NYC-based stage & film director, acting teacher and occasional actor who was one of ten filmmakers selected to participate the 2019 Through Her Lens: The Tribeca/Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program. She began her artistic career training at New York City's Atlantic Acting School - where she subsequently spent over two decades as a faculty member - and earned her BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Her filmmaking is a culmination of twenty-five years of acting, directing, and teaching. It is with former students and many longtime theatre colleagues that Cynthia made the award-winning shorts Sleep Training, Sibs, Chemistry, and the short form series Adult, all of which have screened at a wide range of festivals throughout North America.

Cynthia's most recent short, The Shallow End, written by acclaimed playwright Wendy MacLeod and based on her one-act play of the same title, was the recipient of last year's Rebel Award at Female Voices Rock Film Festival, Best of Fest at New York No Limits 2020 Summit, Best of Fest and Best Director Awards at IndieWorks NY, Best Director at RevolutionMe Film Festival, a finalist at USA Film Festival, and an Official Selection at Indie Memphis Film Festival, Adirondack Film Festival (2019); NewFilmmakers NY, NY Indie Theatre Film Festival, Queen's World Film Festival, SoHo International Film Festival, Chelsea Film Festival, Long Island Int'l Film Expo, Cascadia Int'l Women's Film Festival, Ontario's Deep Cut Film Festival, LA Femme Int'l Film Festival, LA Int'l Children's Film Festival and LA Shorts Int'l Film Festival (2020).

Cynthia's stage directing credits include Dipika Guha's The Rules (Joust Theatre Company); Reckless, by Craig Lucas, Uncommon Women and Others, by Wendy Wasserstein and Melancholy Play, by Sarah Ruhl (Atlantic Acting School at Atlantic Stage 2); Almost, Maine, by John Cariani and Shel Shocked: An Evening of Grown-up One Acts by Shel Silverstein (Atlantic Acting School Studio Theatre); Cookie, by Chad Beckim at FringeNYC, among others. She was named a finalist for the 2015 Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Directors Fellowship. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Cynthia began her artistic career as an actor, training at New York City's Atlantic Acting School, and receiving her BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Her critically acclaimed one-woman show, Bridezilla Strikes Back!, co-written with Kenny Finkle (Winner: Outstanding Solo Show, FringeNYC) received commercial productions in both New York and Los Angeles.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Cynthia lives in Manhattan with her husband Matt and their daughter Sadie.
