About

Amanda Riddell

I make movies, write/edit, and play music, as well as running my satirical political party. My works have been displayed in various places, with positive responses both locally and internationally.

My compositions are generally either for movies or guitar pieces, but I can write for anyone. I'm also an improviser and have training in film, as well as film scoring.
 

I tend to think of my creative work as exploring intimacy, while AMPP's political goal is to promote social cohesion.

My twin brother and I founded Riddell Productions, and ran it for almost a decade, but the band broke up in 2022:
