Lauren Marie Dake is an experimental filmmaker from Seattle, Washington and a Film MFA candidate at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
She works with both 16mm and super 8 film as well as analog sound to create immersive film installations. Direct animation and the incorporation of found footage inform the projects, pulling the gestures of painting and drawing into time based work. Her practice revolves around intuition, freedom and process, always attempting to allow her work to spill out instinctually.
Lauren has a passion for teaching and non-hierarchical methods of learning and multi-disciplinary practices. She believes in the power of moving image and the magic of chance and allowing oneself to push each medium to it’s limit.
