Bella Rieth

Bella Rieth is a Brazilian-German director and producer known for her psychological dramas that explore the fragile boundaries of identity, obsession, and unraveling psyches. Drawn to morally ambiguous characters and unconventional narratives, Bella crafts stories that blend stark realism with eerie subjectivity, immersing audiences in unsettling yet deeply human experiences.

Her breakthrough came with the short film Poor Creatures (14 mins), which premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatres during the Golden State Film Festival and later streamed on the Roku Daily Shorts Channel. She followed this with Producing Checkmate (10 mins), a film that earned recognition on Film Shortage as a Daily Shorts Pick in 2022.

In 2025, Bella is set to release Lottie (24 mins), a psychological drama set in 1973 New England about a 15-year-old girl using her Super 8 camera as a lifeline while spiraling into obsession and delusion. The film solidified her signature storytelling style—blurring the line between perception and reality.

She is currently developing multiple feature projects, including South of the Border, and Poor Creature further expanding her distinct approach to psychological storytelling.

Through Kunsthouse Productions, which she founded in 2021, Bella continues to push boundaries in independent filmmaking, balancing artistic vision with resourceful production. With a commitment to crafting narratives that challenge perception and linger in the mind long after the credits roll.
