Summer Eldemire is a writer, director, and creative director who has built commercial and indie campaigns for brands like Rockhouse Hotel, Skylark Hotel, and Sandals. On the film side, she's a one-stop shop for branded content and commercial work: writing, directing, performing on camera, and shaping creative direction on a project basis. On the page, she crafts copy for websites, newsletters, social media, and travel guides.

She came up in music journalism and moved into the documentary world with Lightbox Productions, on projects such as Brandy Hellville & the Cult of Fast Fashion (Netflix), The Mission (Nat Geo), Tekashi6ix9ine (Hulu), Spector (Hulu), Donyale Luna (Max), and Sins of Our Mother (Netflix). She has directed and produced short-form content for the BBC and PBS, made music videos for Good Girl, and created show visuals for Jamaican dub collective Ground Sound.

Her writing has appeared in Guernica, Pree Caribbean Literary Magazine, The Daily Beast, The Face, Al Jazeera, Complex UK, BBC, The Intercept, Stranger's Guide, Writer's Mosaic, and Sole DxB. She was longlisted for the 2024 Commonwealth Short Story Prize.

She has created, directed, acted in, and written several short films, including the web series Highly Favored, The Donut Space Odyssey (commissioned by the public art organization Active Cultures), and her most recent work, Paradise, a queer Caribbean romance.

In her personal work, she writes dark comedies and coming-of-age tales through a Caribbean lens, with a streak of the mythical and absurd: expect demonic mermaids and haunted cow spirits lifted from Jamaican folklore. She's obsessed with family, belonging, and intergenerational legacy, and is currently working on her first novel.

She holds a BFA in Painting and an MA in Creative Non-Fiction, both from NYU, and has professional experience at Vanity Fair, The Daily Beast, and the New York Times Syndicate.
