Claudia is an Australian freelance comedy director and she's stoked about it. Look at that face. Stoked. And she's toning it down for that picture. Claudia Pickering’s comedy filmmaking career began with acting which lead to writing comedy sketches... and they just kept getting longer. To be more specific, it began when she and her mate Anna convinced Danny Trejo - movie star, ex-convict and face of Old El Paso - to perform a Backstreet Boys-style dance under a dimly-lit bridge. They did not ask the 65-yr old to take off his shirt, he did that all on his own as they evidently have that effect on people. Since then, International film festivals have showered her two feature films Frisky and Winning Formula with official selections and awards, which is a nice change from when she and her mate Tori used to steal stickers in first grade and wear them on their school uniform collars as though they had been legitimately awarded them. It surprised the pants off Pickering when Frisky was distributed by Madman and optioned by Jungle Entertainment to create a TV show, which is handy as she is likely to be pantsless for a large portion of the show itself. She did manage to keep her pants on, if you can call yoga tights pants, while directing the Resting Pitch Face webseries for Google and is currently in development on 3 features through her company Cliff House Productions with mixed pants status. One of her extracurriculars includes running the Freshflix Film Festival in Sydney (Vivid) and Los Angeles (AiF) which is mostly just an excuse to take photos at the media wall to update her LinkedIn profile. The above projects have allowed her to avoid the field of Architecture in which she holds a Masters degree - a method superior to holding her breath until she faints, which was her avoidance tactic of choice up until about age three. Pickering studied comedy improv at Upright Citizen's Brigade, acting at NIDA and NYFA, and screenwriting intensively at NYU... So she has a bachelor in Bulls**t Artistry, helpful when creating comedy sketches with her troupe Frothpocalypse and for winning Tropfest Tropvine with a giraffe telling a dad joke. This love of animals is evident in her illustrations where Pickering (as thedarclaud) recently drew a jellyfish wearing a Santa hat captioned “Jellyfishmas” which is second only to her "Kanye Asada" illustration of Kanye West trapped in a taco. At any given time, you'll find her somewhere, with a group of frothers, making stuff.
