Willa Stivers

I come from a family deeply invested in storytelling and history. After years of being immersed in these stories, I decided it was time for me to start documenting them.

As I began collecting records of my family history, I also discovered a passion for art making.

My art, whether it be photography, painting, or screenwriting, is all heavily inspired by my family. I use these mediums to preserve the stories of my family and those around me.

I have brought these values into my time as a Radio, Television, and Film major at Northwestern University, where I have worked on many sets, including as the writer and director of One Piece at a Time, which was selected for the New Student Grant and will premiere in the summer.
