Gwen Wynne is a director and producer.

After graduating from Brown University, Wynne co-founded the No-Neck Monster Theatre Company, where she directed "Sanctuary D.C.," a rap musical about the city's homeless that received three Helen Hayes Awards nominations, including outstanding resident musical.

As a documentarian, Wynne and her production company Apricot Films produced Pamela Tom’s documentary about Disney Legend Tyrus Wong, Tyrus, which was selected for the 42nd Telluride Film Festival (2015) and nationally broadcast as part of PBS’s American Masters series, for which it was nominated for an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Documentary or Non-fiction Series” in 2017.

In 2021, Wynne won two Telly Silver Awards: “Outstanding Directing” and “Social Impact” for her segment in the mini-series Hope Builders: Making a Difference in the Inland Empire, produced by Mary Lou Belli, for KVCR/PBS in San Bernardino.

As a narrative film director, Wynne's debut feature film “Wild About Harry” (original title American Primitive) was called “an indie gem" by The Huffington Post’s Tom Gregory, who described it as "the 'why' that drove early activists like Harvey Milk and the Stonewall demonstrators to demand equality" when it was first released in 2009, and won “Best of the Fest" at the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival. The film, which stars Tate Donovan, Adam Pascal, Danielle Savre, Susan Anspach, Anne Ramsay, Josh Peck, Stacey Dash, James Sikking, and Suzan Crowley was re-released in 2021.
