Audrey Ray Daniel
Audrey began shooting videos of art in L.A. in 1984, inspired to become an art dealer (pre internet) to market art via videotapes. Realizing that videos of art were not as interesting as documenting the artists and their creative process she changed her tact. Her first video followed a group of Italian Artists from the “Arte Povera,” brought to L.A. by the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art. Working closely with Rachel Rosenthal, widely recognized as the mother of performance art, Audrey began documenting the performance art scene. In the 90s, Audrey dedicated herself to producing fine art & commercial photography. In 1998 she sold her Hasselblad, bought a new video camera and has since produced “Centers of Creativity,” “Kurt Stoeckel Artist,” “Paul Dahlquist Photographer,” “Owls of Bernal Hill” and “Rumi Tsuda: A Colony of One.” Audrey lives in Bernal. www.araystudio.com

Nara Denning
Independent Filmmaker: Experimental Live Action & Animation.
Nara approaches motion picture with a measured direction, which aims to paint each frame as a freestanding work of art. She constructs her own sets and costumes and infuses her signature on every aspect of her work, which results in an uncompromised, original vision. Nara began as a visual artist and became intimate with the use of symbols in her work. She treats motion picture in the same way, regarding each shot as a fully realized moving painting.
