Career Path
The aspiring filmmaker is making strides in her own right, having made her feature directorial debut with Please Don’t Feed the Children, which features notable actors like Michelle Dockery and Giancarlo Esposito. In a previous interview, Destry detailed her journey toward directing and how a serious injury shifted her focus from competitive equestrianism to film.
