Born of the theatre as an actress, dancer, writer and director, Regina has successfully transitioned her love of movement and character driven storytelling to filmmaking. Her passion for amplifying authentic experiences that can inspire positive social change is what drives her activism in both her leadership and cinematic worlds.

Ainsworth spent a year amongst West End productions in London, and upon returning stateside, began directing regional theatre. With an eye toward directing episodic television, she landed a job at Warner Bros. Television. WBTV was her film school, as she worked with and observed over 120 productions, including Arrow, The Leftovers, Blindspot, Pretty Little Liars, and Westworld. It was after auditing the WBTV Director’s Workshop (a program she helped launch), that she became a freelance independent director. Ainsworth was most recently selected for Netflix’s Episodic Directors on the Rise Program led by Paris Barclay.

As an award-winning filmmaker, Regina’s work has resonated internationally. Selected credits include two episodes of indie series Linked by Love, the sci-fi indie darling Recombined (based on the YA SciFi Tankborn Trilogy novels), and Unveiled, a magical realism proof of concept, exploring final moments of love and the tough transition from this world to whatever is next.

Regina is the DGA Latino Committee Co-Chair Emeritus, Co-Founder of los directores, a Guild-level collective of Latino directors and director’s team, founder of the DGA Latino Summit, and a member of the Television Academy Directors Peer Group.
