Dot Foster is a filmmaker, playwright and poet based in Los Angeles and Berlin. She studied at the University of Oxford and the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin (German Film and Television School), where she was the recipient of an Examination Prize (2023) and the winner of Best Short Play at the Oxford New Writing Festival (2020), among other awards. A theatre maker and performer from an early age, Dot’s work experiments with the relationship between contemporary movement practices, spoken word and visual languages of domestic space and the natural world. Her short film, 'Mad River' (starring Peter Coyote) blends the distinctions between fiction and documentary through an evolving, community-based film practice, and is set for completion in November 2026.

Her poetry has been published in RISE, Oxford Public Philosophy Journal, Free Verse Magazine, Poetry in Practice, and The Oxford Blue’s ‘Creativity in Crisis’ writing collective.
