Hillary Sproul is an actress and filmmaker based in New York City.
Her work spans performance, writing and visual storytelling — with an artistic practice centered on atmosphere, psychology and intimate, character-driven narratives.
She earned her BA in Film and Theatre from the University of Southern Maine, where she studied acting under Emmanuelle Chaulet, before continuing Meisner training at the William Esper Studio with Suzanne Esper. As an actress, she has written, produced and starred in several short films, including Border Line, which screened at festivals such as McMinnville Short Film Festival and was nominated for Best Drama at the Atlanta Women’s Film Festival. Her most recent short film, Linnea, marks her directorial debut and focuses on desire and identity at a moment of irreversible choice, with a feature-length version currently in development.
Alongside her film work, Hillary has an extensive background in interview-based journalism focused on film, culture and the creative process. She has served as Film & Entertainment Editor for The WILD Magazine, Tunica Magazine and Alldayeveryday Digest, and is currently a regular contributor to the Soho Grand Hotel and The Roxy Hotel, where she profiles artists, filmmakers, musicians and cultural figures. Her interviews include conversations with filmmakers such as Alejandro Jodorowsky and Abel Ferrara, among others working across film, art and music.
She also works across styling and visual collaboration for film, editorial and commercial projects, a practice informed by her background in performance and production. In parallel, she has over a decade of experience as a DJ, curating sound for events, private gatherings and cultural spaces across New York City.
