Biography

Virginia Newcomb is a performer and independent filmmaker known for her acclaimed performance in A24's The Death of Dick Long (2019) by Daniel Scheinert (of Oscar winning, The Daniels). "Best of all might be Lydia, whom Newcomb invests with a terrific energy - fiercely protective, vulnerable and angry all at once - as she reels from the particulars of a situation as imbecilic as it is impossible. You share in her disbelief, and you believe her entirely." LA Times, Justin Chang This film and others returned her to her home state of Alabama, including producing on Lynn Shelton's Sword of Trust (2019) and numerous award winning short films.

Virginia took a similar, and more immersive, approach as creator of Cucalorus Film Festival's annual commissioned Blue Velvet installation, Bus To Lumberton. Whether adding dynamic movement to the screen or intimate nuance to theatre, Virginia thrives in commingling these worlds.
