AUDREY is a writer, filmmaker, actor, and activist located in NYC. Audrey graduated with a BFA from NYU Tisch Drama, Playwrights Horizons Theatre School in 2020 with a minor in Developmental Psychology. While at NYU, Audrey worked with The TEAM, Hangar Theatre, 600 Highwaymen and Playwrights Horizons. She also wrote, directed, and acted in her own original plays and produced documentary projects. Graduating during the pandemic, Audrey used the isolation, restrictions, and time afforded to explore the world of film and has fallen in love with the medium. To date, Audrey has made four short films: Before We Die, Evergreen, A Farmer’s Daughter, and Numb which have been selected to appear in the Cannes Short Film Festival, Toronto International Women's Film Festival, Dumbo Film Festival, and more. She has also written a screenplay entitled “Balloons Over Neptune,” which was a finalist for the Sundance Feature Film Development Lab and earned her acceptance into the Nostos Screenwriting Retreat in Tuscany, Italy, which she attended in September, 2021. During the height of the Pandemic, Audrey also created and hosted a weekly open mic which served as a loving space for artists from far reaching corners of the world (Colombia, UK, Hawaii, etc.) to share new work while raising funds for COVID relief efforts and the BLM movement. Additionally, Audrey worked as an online teaching artist at Kids Creative Collective, which provides tuition-free arts programs to underserved youth. |
In August, 2021, Audrey presented her documentary project The Story of My Boobs (TSOMB) at Chance Studios in Soho, NYC. The show had a sold-out three-night run and included a gallery and live performance directed by Audrey to raise funds for trans youth and breast cancer research. TSOMB captures the personal stories of current, former, and future boob-owners of all genders and ages. This project touches on topics including what it is like to go through breast cancer treatment, top surgery, live in a trans body, heal from sexual trauma, and accept the bodies we live in in 2021.
Audrey's creations are attempted love letters and invitations to connect. |
I wish to make films that capture the nuances of human beings and the love that can be lost “between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said” (Khalil Gibran). I hope my work inspires people to look at others with feeling eyes and an open heart. - Audrey
