Summer Clarke-Graham

Summer is an autistic actor, writer and presenter with Jamaican heritage and is asexual. She writes what she knows, in a way that promotes normalisation. As an actor, she relishes every challenge and gets stuck into every role. Summer's second love is music, and she incorporates it into her creative process - from crafting a character on page or on stage/screen. She first fell in love with acting because she wanted to be a Power Ranger, but now loves the opportunities the industry can give  to create and embody characters that were missing for her childhood self, in the hope that it makes even one person feel represented and feel that they are not alone. 

Credits include Alice in the short film, The Railway Woman - which was nominated for best short at the London Shorts Festival and selected at the BAFTA-qualifying Oska Bright Film Festival; Diane, a vampire, in the short film First Dates; and Skylar in the short film Dolonia, which she also co-wrote and co-directed.
