After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Drama, Film and English Literature, Robyn Grace began working in theatre. In 2000, she got her first screen gig. Soon she was a first assistant director on a long line of films and TV shows — as well as a director (including comedy Mean Mums and sci-fi show The Cul de Sac). In 2017 she wrote and directed a short film based on Marian Keyes and Catherine Flanagan's story A Woman's Right to Shoes. It was invited to almost 40 festivals. Grace followed it with award-winner Oranges and Lemons. In 2022 she was among four directors to be Emmy nominated for season one of post-apocalyptic hit Sweet Tooth.
