Independent Films by Amy Winfrey

INDEPENDENT PROJECTS

Amy has made over ninety independent films! After the success of her first web series, MuffinFilms, she created Big Bunny and then Making Fiends. She followed up with Squid and Frog and Fun with Cobra. In 2016, she launched Hooray for Hell in collaboration with Peter Merryman. Amy continues to make new independent projects. Her latest films, from 2024 on the subject of artificial intelligence were inspired when she found herself on a list of artists whose art styles were used to train AI art programs without consent.
