Erin Lee Carr is a two-time Emmy nominated filmmaker known for exploring criminal justice, femininity and virality.
Most recently, Erin served as an Executive Producer on Hulu's three-part documentary series Perfect Wife, directed by Michael Beach Nichols, which tells the captivating story of Sherri Papini's mysterious 2016 disappearance. Perfect Wife debuted at #1 on Hulu and ultimately became the most watched documentary in the streamer's history.
Earlier this year, Erin produced alongside Judd Apatow and Imagine Entertainment on Peacock's Original Documentary Stormy, directed by Sarah Gibson. The story centers Stormy Daniels who would go on to offer testimony in the 2024 hush money trial that led to former President Trump's conviction in the case. Variety's Owen Gleiberman wrote '"Stormy" shows you what the scandal looks like from inside the sensationalist bubble of fame, and by the end of the film you may be a little bit ashamed of us all."
2024 will continue to be a busy year for Carr, with two more projects premiering in October: a feature length documentary on Hulu (directed), and a two-part series on HBO (directed).
