Clare Cooney is a SAG actor and filmmaker currently living in Los Angeles. Her credits include Steve McQueen's Widows, NBC's Chicago PD, Pop TV's Hot Date, NBC's Shrink, and lead roles in the independent features Rendezvous in Chicago and Soul Sessions. She recently wrapped the independent feature Relative this summer with a lead role opposite Wendy Robie (Twin Peaks).
As a filmmaker, she wrote, directed, edited, and starred in Runner. This short film played at 15 film festivals, winning six awards and garnering Cooney a "Filmmaker to Watch" nomination from the Oscar-Qualifying Atlanta Film Festival. Most recently, she wrote, directed, and edited the romantic drama Pick Up, filmed with a skeleton cast and crew during the Covid-19 pandemic. Pick Up made its festival premiere at the Oscar-Qualifying Indy Shorts Film Festival 2021 and has received over 400,000 views online. You can watch and read more about both films on her filmmaking page.
She made Newcity magazine's Film 50 list in 2020 and 2019 for being "one of 50 individuals who shape Chicago's film scene."
Clare is indeed one to watch.
