Caroline Bell-Booth

Director, Actor

Caroline Bell-Booth has directed for some of Aotearoa and Australia's most popular television shows of the 2010s, including The Brokenwood Mysteries, 800 Words and Home and Away. Following an extensive education in film and theatre, she directed for the stage, before cutting her teeth directing for Shortland Street in the early 2000s (and returning to the show for many years to come). Since then she has prolifically directed TV drama, including as lead director on crime shows My Life Is Murder (season two) and Westside (seasons five and six). Caroline Bell-Booth also acts, appearing on One Lane Bridge and Shortland Street. 

She's an extremely strong, intelligent, remarkably creative and incisive director. And she's courageous with her decision-making. Actor Michelle Langstone on friend and working colleague Caroline Bell-Booth, Stuff, 22 October 2017
