Between the promotion of season one and filming of season two, Creed-Miles made her directorial debut. She wrote, directed and starred in short film Jamie, which received a nomination for Best International Short at Palm Springs.
2017 saw Creed-Miles star as the younger version of Ruth Wilson’s Alice in Clio Barnard’s mystery drama Dark River. The film follows the journey of Alice, who returns to her home village for the first time in 15 years to claim the tenancy of the family farm she believes is rightfully hers. Produced by the BFI and distributed by FilmRise, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to critical acclaim and received multiple award nominations.
In the same year, Creed-Miles starred as Pogo in Bill Buckhurst’s Pond Life. Set in a 1994 world of broken families, cassette tapes and parliamentary angst, the film is an exploration of Britain’s post-industrial communities and concerns a group of friends who share a moment of harmony amidst rumbling political fever. The film also stars Tom Varey (Game of Thrones).
Creed-Miles’s breakout role saw her portray Shirley Temple in Mister Lonely, a comedy from Harmony Korine. Receiving its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, the film follows a disillusioned Michael Jackson impersonator who finds faith and love when he meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, who takes him to a remote Scottish island where impersonators are free to live their lives. The film also features Diego Luna (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Samantha Morton (Minority Report) and James Fox (Sherlock Holmes).
