About
Josephine Decker directed intimate, genre-bending films that blur narrative and documentary form. Born April 2, 1981, in the US, she helmed Butter on the Latch (2013), Madeline's Madeline (2018), and Shirley (2020), establishing herself as a filmmaker who interrogates identity and desire through fractured storytelling. As an Aries, she channels the sign's directness into confrontational cinema.
★ FEATURE
Biography
Josephine Decker is an American filmmaker and screenwriter who emerged in the 2010s directing experimental narrative and documentary work. Born April 2, 1981, she directed Butter on the Latch (2013), Thou Wast Mild and Lovely (2014), Madeline's Madeline (2018), Shirley (2020), and The Sky is Everywhere (2022), alongside the co-directed documentary Bi the Way (2008) with Brittany Blockman. Her films typically feature non-linear editing, overlapping dialogue, and unstable character perspectives—formal strategies that refuse conventional narrative closure. Madeline's Madeline, in particular, became a critical touchstone for its formal inventiveness and psychological intensity. Decker's screenwriting and directorial work spans feature narrative, documentary, and hybrid forms. As a Life Path 7, she embodies the introspective, analytical energy associated with deep creative inquiry [birth fact]. Aries birth (April 2) places her in a sign known for pioneering vision and directness—traits evident in her willingness to formally alienate audiences in service of thematic precision. She continues to develop original work across streaming and theatrical platforms.
