Born of the theatre as an actress, dancer, writer and director, Regina is an award-winning filmmaker and proud member of the Directors Guild of America.  She is known for her bold and authentic character driven storytelling.

With extensive experience at Warner Bros. Television across over 120 productions, including Arrow, The Leftovers, Blindspot, Pretty Little Liars, and Westworld, Ainsworth brings proven expertise in both episodic and independent film.  After auditing the WBTV Director’s Workshop (a program she helped launch), Regina transitioned into freelance independent directing.  Ainsworth was most recently selected for Netflix’s Episodic Directors on the Rise led by former DGA President Paris Barclay, and she continues to be supported by Netflix’s Creative Talent and Development team.

As an indie filmmaker and auteur, Regina’s work has resonated internationally. Selected credits include two episodes of the indie series Linked by Love, the Sci-Fi indie darling Recombined (based on the Tankborn Trilogy novels), and Unveiled, a magical realism proof of concept.

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 voting member of the Television Academy Directors Peer Group.
