Lauren Marie Dake is an experimental filmmaker and educator from Seattle. Her practice centers on notions of escape, chaos, the uncanny, and the ethereal. She is fascinated with the world-building potential of handmade and cameraless cinema and experiments with direct animation onto 16mm films, where she engages in an ongoing attempt to create new realities within the dimension of the frame. Lauren’s short films have recently screened at the Grrl Haus Cinema Best of 2024 Festival in Cambridge,MA, the MicroActs Artist Film Screenings in London, the International Avant-Garde Film Festival in New York, and the Boston Short Film Festival.
