BOOCH O’CONNELL is an actress, writer, filmmaker, poet, and exhibiting artist from the East Village, who graduated from Fordham University with a double major in Film Production and English.
Booch expressed an interest in acting, modeling, and music at the age of four and began her career at seven years old, when she signed a modeling contract, booked her first professional job, and recorded her first single.
Booch has been working extensively as a SAG-AFTRA actor since childhood, appearing in shows like The Beauty (FX), The Americans (FX), and The Blacklist (NBC), as well as films like The Christmas Letter, The Legend, Babygirl, and Girl Haunts Boy.
Her film, AFFIRMATIONS (that she wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in), was shown at the Susan Lipani Gallery in the late filmmaker Ross McLaren’s memorial gallery show The Muse Was Life; The Medium Was Film. Her photography has been displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Photoville Brooklyn, the Susan Lipani Gallery, and the Ildiko Butler Gallery. Her writing has been published in BRICOLAGE, The Comma, FLASH Magazine, and REALLY Magazine. She was the editor-in-chief and creative director of Fordham University’s literary and arts journal BRICOLAGE, during her time at the institution.
In her work, Booch O’Connell enjoys exploring themes of obsession, eroticism, alienation, and the radically transformative power of love, human connection, and the divine.
