Angie Rowntree was born in Montreal, Canada, the daughter of an actress and a commercial airline pilot. As a function of her father's occupation, she moved frequently during childhood, splitting time between her native Canada, Australia, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

She holds degrees in business and journalism and has previously worked as a model and television commercial actress. She resides in New England with her husband Colin Rowntree who, like Angie, is an adult filmmaker and website owner.

Angie Rowntree is an inductee to the AVN Hall of Fame Founders Division who also has been named as one of the adult industry's top female directors and power-players. Angie got her start in the adult industry's online sector in the early 90s, making her one of the adult Internet's true pioneers. In addition to directing original adult erotic films, Angie is also the producer of the Mindbrowse.com online discussion series, which brings together directors, performers, academics and critics to tackle some of the most incendiary and controversial topics surrounding the Adult Film Industry.

Angie's 2015 film release, "Gone" was described by movie critic Rich Moreland who stated "Angie Rowntree deserves congratulations for perhaps the most thoughtful and significant porn film this reviewer has ever seen. It stands alone in defining adult film as art."

Known for her lighthearted and straightforward approach, Angie is a frequent participant on panel discussions at adult film industry trade shows, and has been profiled by a variety of major media outlets, including ABC's Nightline, CNBC, Fox, Cosmopolitan, NPR, the BBC, and TIME magazine. Most recently, Angie became the first member of the adult industry to speak at a Sundance Institute event, appearing at the "Creative Tensions: Sex" experimental interactive discussion event in Brooklyn.

In addition to running her company and producing/directing adult films, Angie is active in the animal rights movement and in supporting a variety of charities, including donating profits from her films and websites through the Sssh.com Charity Program.
