My name is Dulcinée DeGuere. 

I'm a filmmaker, conceptual artist, and social sculptor. I'm also a poet, trickster, and comrade. Translated from french, my full name means "born sweet of war." I live by the tenets of endless poetry and industrial espionage.

 

I was trained in corporate advertising & marketing but my heart bleeds creative. When I'm not making movies, I'm producing secret bacchanals in the Sonoran & Mojave deserts, pondering the downfall of western civilization, and translating critical theory into more accessible forms. In some circles, I'm best known for throwing debaucherous Sundance after-parties. 

In addition to editing, I have extensive experience as a Producer, DIT and Post-Producer/Coordinator. I don't like to be a suit but when I put one on, I'd be lying if I said it didn't fit.

Editing is my trade; writing/directing is my lifeblood. The films I make are mysterious, opaque, and nonlinear. They center female and queer characters in genres like science fiction and horror.

In the fall of 2024, I premiered my one-woman performance An Open Door for a Closed World alongside a solo gallery show at Sky Portal X in DTLA.
 

My favorite filmmakers are Kubrick, Denis, Ducarneau, Korine, and Noé. The Act of Killing and Caniba share the title place as the best film ever made, followed closely by Mulholland Drive. You may try and debate me on this, but you will lose. 

I graduated magna cum laude and with honors from Northwestern with a B.A. in Film & Visual Art. In 2018, I co-founded Voyeur Productions, a queer artist collective working across film, TV and live events. Voyeur formally closed in 2024.

I want to be a butcher when I grow up. ​
