Filmmaker Kentucker Audley got his start in Memphis at the Digital Media Co-Op, and was a two-time winner at Indie Memphis. He now resides in New York, where he has made two features with director and producer Albert Birney. In 2021, I interviewed Audley when Strawberry Mansion opened the first Sundance satellite screening in Memphis. Now, it is open in select theaters across the country — sadly, not in Memphis, but it is at the Belcourt Theater in Nashville — and will debut February 25th on VOD platforms. To give you the flavor of the film’s beautiful, magical realist vibes, here’s the trailer.
Electronic music legend Dan Deacon created the appropriately trippy score for Strawberry Mansion, and has released the main theme as a single. Birney and Audley directed this amazing video, which incorporates some images from the film along with some new creatures and outstanding glitch work. Check it out!
