Lottie Finklaire

Lottie Finklaire is an award-winning writer, director, filmmaker, producer, and actress. She trained in London, studying acting at East 15 Drama School and screenwriting at the Raindance Film Institute, and her short films DREAMSPACE and I WISH I HAD KNOWN have won awards at international film festivals.

For Get Sleepy, Lottie turns that craft toward rest. She has devoted her career to writing stories, traveling, and studying human experience, and the people and cultures she has met along the way find room in her sleep stories. Her short story “Pearl” traces one saltwater pearl through the lives of different women over 200 years, with the same patient pacing she brings to bedtime.
