Chelsea Halligan is a queer filmmaker, ceramic artist, and creative entrepreneur. She has spent her career working towards tearing down institutional boundaries and making room for diverse voices. Her work has been written about in USA Today and The LA Times and showcased at various festivals around the country. She is the co-founder of Level Ground, a non-profit committed to destabilizing oppressive social structures through art-making, community building, and resource sharing.

Over the past few years, she executive produced a project in collaboration with Netflix and Film Independent and co-executive produced UNION, which will premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, and her short film script Lacey was named as a finalist in several other festivals.

In addition, she has expanded her craft into pottery where she strives to use her passion for justice and intersectionality to inform her work. While her work is mostly functional, it strives to have a more sculptural voice, using form and surface design to inspire and provoke those who encounter it.
