Audrey Mace is a filmmaker, storyteller, and multimedia artist documenting the stories of people, experimenting with non-linear narrative structures, and offering unique perspectives on the mundane. Raised in Springfield, Missouri, she traveled West to get a BFA in Film & Media Studies and Art from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington.
Audrey’s work is rooted in the exploration of editing processes, techniques, mediums, as well as places, cultures, and feelings. She has created documentaries about niche topics, from rodeo clowns in rural Washington to bike touring across the country. Her editing style also extends to experimental short films and digital distortions.
During her time at Whitman College (2018 to 2022), she worked closely with a digital art professor to think critically about experimental video works by exploring the distortion of her own self-portraiture footage using a node-based, visual programming software called Touch Designer. She became interested in how distortions of herself, both through imagery and internally, produce different reactions to the mundane by disorienting our place in reality and creating a new world through the screen. The self is ongoing, across time and space, familiar and not, singular and multiplied and fractured. On the other side of her artistry, she worked closely with a filmmaking professor to assist with office work, lab technology, and camera equipment.
Currently, Audrey is focused on telling stories from her most recent bike touring experience. She discovered that documenting moments in rural areas of the country offers a unique way to see the world and understand the vast diversity of humanity.
