About

Rachel Guidry Whittle is a Director, Producer, and Actress.

She was born and raised in the heart of Cajun country, Lafayette, Louisiana. And while

she entered the industry later than some, she formed a love for storytelling early in life. Growing up,

Rachel’s father would teach her through telling stories rather than just making statements. This was when

she learned first-hand the power stories have to teach lessons, provide escapes, and form connections.

Years later, these gifts that storytelling offers to the world would pull her into the entertainment industry.

Rachel has been acting in film, television, and commercials for the last ten years. In that time, she’s

learned the importance of having reliable people to help guide newcomers through a career in acting.

This understanding inspired her to assist up-and-coming actors and actresses in her home state of

Louisiana by teaching classes as a film acting coach.

Ever versatile, she loves working behind the camera just as much as in front and firmly believes in

helping wherever needed when on set. Because of this, Rachel has expanded her knowledge of the

various roles on set and now does work as a filmmaker, such as directing and producing. Some of her

favorite adventures in the filmmaking arena have come from a comedy sketch filmmakers’ troupe she is a

part of called A Dangerous Flock.

And it would seem that, for the Whittles, performing arts is a family affair. Rachel’s husband, Matt, is a set

designer in film and theater, and her daughter, Adeleine, is a film and stage actress. When not working in

the arts, they spend time working on the family farm, Guidry Organic Farms, in Sunset, Louisiana.

Rachel’s love lies in authentic storytelling, whether in front of the camera or behind it. She says it best,

“My favorite thing about filmmaking is that it requires collaboration. No one can do any of this on their

own. It takes a beautiful mesh of minds to make it work.”
