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 can also be seen in Peacock (2010) with Cillian Murphy, Reparation (2015) with Marc Menchaca, and opposite Jim Cummings in Vanishing Angle's, The Beta Test (2021), which premiered at Berlinale and Tribeca '21 and released by IFC. She performed in Julian Rosefeldt's epic video installation project, Euphoria with Cate Blanchett & Giancarlo Esposito for Park Ave Armory in NYC and toured internationally. Newcomb's influences hail from a vast theatre background and it's the boundary breaking, media mashup kind that inspire much of her own creative work. Her Broadway debut came in Jay Scheib's live-cinema production of Chekhov's Platonov, which live streamed to Time Square and BAM Rose Cinemas. 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. A true indie film and alt theater kid, Virginia can also be seen in popular shows, Law & Order SVU, The Walking Dead, The Office, Halt & Catch Fire, and Netflix series From Scratch opposite Zoe Saldana. Catch Virginia as an injured coal minor in the Appalachian Eco-body horror, Occupational Hazard, on Hulu. She was selected to participate in the inaugural Constellation Incubator beginning summer of '21, formed to apply design thinking to re-imagine and scale a more sustainable, equitable filmmaking ecosystem and continues to search for new innovative ways to enrich support for artists. Regardless of role or medium, Virginia desires to share bold, evocative stories in deeply collaborative projects that portray women honestly, particularly in nontraditional southern narrative.
