Giles Perkins

Directing

Birthplace: Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Giles Perkins is a Brooklyn-based writer and director from Baltimore, MD. He holds a B.F.A. in Film & Television Production from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and his work often explores interpersonal conflict shaped by misguided American ideals. His recent films include Expiration Date, which screened at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, and Apollo, which premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival and was nominated for Best Short Film. In 2023, Giles directed a series of short documentaries on Brooklyn-based fashion designer KidSuper and his Paris Fashion Week shows, including the AW23 collection he designed for Louis Vuitton. A 2025 Sundance Ignite Fellow, Giles is currently in post-production on a new narrative short and preparing to shoot his next film—another short that doubles as a proof of concept for his debut feature.
