Bonnie MacRae tells honest stories through rhythmic, colourful and darkly comic visuals. She is making a name for herself highlighting important subject matters through a lighthearted and stylistic lens.
Bonnie is an upcoming director, hailing from Dundee. She made her debut during the pandemic in 2020 with ‘Mind Yersel’, after surging suicide rates in her hometown named the city as the UK’s Suicide Capital. The film went viral and was featured on BBC Scotland and used by the NHS in a campaign created by Bonnie to establish improved mental health training practices for healthcare professionals across the UK.
She followed this with winning Best Director at the BFI Future Film Festival for her micro-budget dark-comedy ‘All Up There’, a relatable, immersive short around Endometriosis praised for its originality. Spinning her own lived experiences with the condition on its head, the film tackles the realities of medical misogyny, chronic illness and coming of age during the pursuit of a endometriosis diagnosis. Since its release, the film has screened in the UK Parliament, The Vagina Museum, as well as winning a Silver Screen at the Young Director Awards in Cannes.
In 2024 Bonnie moved to London and signed to Spindle, starting to work together behind the scenes and building her commercial reel. Together, All Up There has been developed into a 2025 awareness campaign for charity Endometriosis UK. She has recently completed her debut commercial for Heinz ‘Loved by Babies, Craved by Parents’ – a series of short & sweet comedy spots that show the irresistible nature of their baby food range.
Spindle have also just produced Bonnie’s latest comedy short ‘Happy Birthday Daniel’ in collaboration with Bacon. This tongue in cheek character comedy sees a novelty birthday present given between a young couple haunt them both post break-up. It stars Lizzie Davidson of BBC’s Such Brave Girls and Rhea Norwood of Netflix’s Heartstopper, and is currently starting it’s festival run. Most recently, Bonnie is also developing her debut TV project ‘F*CKGIRL’.
Bonnie is quickly establishing herself as one of the UK’s most exciting breakthrough talents, lauded for her bold, darkly comic but vibrant approach to serious topics.
