Celeste Geer is a Walkley and AACTA Award-winning Australian director whose films combine the visceral truth of documentary filmmaking with the cinematic power of scripted drama. With over two decades behind the camera, she has built a diverse body of work across international feature documentaries, high-end branded content, and most recently, narrative television. Her storytelling is expansive yet intimate, marked by striking imagery, emotional acuity, and an instinct for authenticity.

Her latest feature, The Endangered Generation?, narrated by Laura Dern, is a visually arresting and unexpectedly hopeful call to action on the climate crisis. Described by the Financial Times as “an inspiring film that offers a compelling new window on the biggest story of our time,” it features scientists, artists and First Nations leaders. The film premiered at MIFF and opened the 2023 Doc Edge Festival.

Earlier TV documentaries for SBS and ABC include Then The Wind Changed, an acclaimed portrait of survival and resilience after the Black Saturday bushfires. The film won both Walkley and AACTA Awards, received ADG and Logie nominations, and was described by The Australian as “a beautifully made film, crafted with compassion… a small slice of reality as densely authored, textured and disquieting as any feature.”

Celeste’s directorial voice is shaped by a career that spans commercial law, cross-cultural filmmaking in China and global advertising. Her work for brands including ANZ, LinkedIn and World Vision has earned international recognition for craft and social impact, including a Gold Lion at Cannes Lions.

Now focused on high-end scripted drama, Celeste brings the clarity and sensitivity of documentary filmmaking into her work as a TV director. In 2024, she joined Neighbours as a director’s attachment, stepping into television with a strong eye for performance and story.

In 2025 Celeste is looking to collaborate with producers on bold, female-led stories that combine emotional depth with cinematic scope.
