(Redirected from D. R. Hood) British film director and screenwriter

Dictynna Hood, sometimes credited as D.R. Hood, is a British film director and screenwriter. She leads a module on film production for the University of Warwick at the London Film School.

Biography

Her first feature film Wreckers (2011) premiered at the London Film Festival. It starred Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy as a couple returning to a rural village. Her second feature film, Us Among the Stones (2019), stars Laurence Fox and Anna Calder-Marshall: The Guardian's critic called it a "somewhat oddball family reunion drama".
