AMANDA LOVEJOY STREET
Writer / Director / Producer

Amanda Lovejoy Street is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and teacher whose work explores the recovery of lost bits of self. Amanda’s passage to this work began in Olympia, WA while immersed in its DIY riot grrrl culture; there, Amanda made Super 8 films, photographs, and formed the performance band The Skirts. Post Olympia, Amanda moved to London to study at RADA. She brings over a decade of acting experience in theater (Drama Desk Award — Kafka Thing, Odyssey Theatre), film (Best Performance Award — How to Cheat, LAFF) and over 90 national commercials to her current filmmaking projects. In addition to acting, Amanda has directed plays and readings at Theatre of NOTE, the Echo Theater Company and devised/performed in site specific pieces in galleries, the outdoors and MOCA. It is her years of meditating and investigating dramaturgy, art and the psyche that has led her to her intuitive way of working. As a student of Sandra Seacat, Amanda was first exposed to the relationship between creativity and dreams. Amanda took that curiosity to Kim Gillingham (Creative Dream Work) whom she apprenticed with and now teaches alongside, working with artists of all disciplines who are seeking to develop a relationship with the unconscious. Amanda is currently developing her debut feature-length film, Flowers of Flowers which examines the body, the culture of trauma, individuation, memory, and the relationship between the absurd and the profound.

KELLY PENDYGRAFT
Producer

With over 15 years of experience acting in TV and films, Kelly discovered she had more to offer than being in front of camera. Wearing the many hats low budgeted productions offer in feature films and short films, Kelly has done craft services, location managing, wardrobe, production design and even sound. Once she even made baby teeth out of plastic. In nature, this has lead to producing. Kelly produced a handful of short films, webseries and two feature films, “The Last Girl” and “Oxalis”. She thrives off making ideas come to life from the first draft script to the screen, especially knowing what it took to get it there. To ask her what she does, is to put her in a box. Kelly is an actress, starring in “Good Kids” (2016), recurring opposite Sarah Paulson in “People vs OJ Simpson” and also recurring on Disney’s “Walk the Prank” (2016-2018) but in her soul, it’s deeper. Kelly bleeds her projects off and on screen. So when people ask, the only words that can even come close to what Kelly does...she’s a“filmmaker”.
