Madison Hatfield is a writer, performer, and filmmaker born, raised, and based in Atlanta, GA. With her creative partner Jono Mitchell, she works to celebrate underrepresented perspectives with a focus on unexpected joy, as in Pageant Material (an official selection of the 2019 Atlanta Film Festival), the award-winning short Jenna Gets An Abortion, upcoming features Miles from Nowhere and Courtney Gets Possessed, and the short films Making a Scene, Thirty Candles, and Post-Citrus (all out in 2022). In particular, Madison uses her films as an opportunity to both draw attention to and close The Fat Gap, the gap between the proportion of fat folks watching film and television and the proportion of folks on film and television who are fat. Outside of film, Madison is a founding member and producer of the award-winning theatre company Shakespeare on Draught and a sketch and improv performer on stages around town.
