STORM GARNER (director, Arrested) is a multidisciplined artist of words, music, actions and images, whose main goal most days is to marry all those disparate disciplines in filmmaking, having engaged in too much un(der)documented theatre and performance art and otherwise ephemeral enterprises in the past. She's won a few awards as a screenwriter, and done some festival rounds with short films, but the postproduction process for her art-world satire of a feature is so grueling that she now returns to the theatre to save her soul, and to get out of her own damn head. Though NYC based for 10 years now (beckoned by La Mama in 2006! stayed for Columbia studies, and... ) Storm still tunes her heartstrings to DC, Paris, Kraków, Rome, Berlin, maintains a love/hate relationship with clowns and a just-love affair with *open, consensual, fun!* queer sexual adventures.
