Trudie Styler is an actress, director and producer. She is also an active environmentalist, and with her husband Sting has raised some $40 million for the Rainforest Fund which they founded in 1989. She started out as a theatre and television actress, but in the early 1990s shifted her focus to producing feature films – for instance, Guy Ritchie’s Snatch (2000) and Duncan Jones’s Moon (2009). In 2011 she joined with Celine Rattray to found Maven Pictures, which produced Still Alice (2014, dirs. Richard Glatzer, Wash Westmoreland) and last year’s Cannes hit American Honey (2016, dir. Andrea Arnold). Her feature debut Freak Show screened in the Generation 14plus section at the 67th Berlinale.
