Robbie J. Atkinson is renowned for her avant-garde story-telling. Atkinson stands out for her innovative approach to weaving intricate red-herrings and injecting a dramatic essence into genres such as thriller, action and sci-fi that elevates the complexity of the characters and plot. Her films and graphic novels alike use fictional backdrops as a landscape for allegorical commentary about race, class, and culture. She is the writer/director of the short psychological horror film "Kalimba" as well as the creator/author of the hit manga series "The Seventh Kingdom: Fukushuu no Oukoku". Despite her penchant for dark thematic undertones, her stories centralize hope, connection, resilience and authenticity.
