Biography

Rae Dawn (Director) (They/Them) is a non-binary, queer parent living in San Francisco. Rae lived an early life as a train hopper, at-risk teenager, and musician. Rae is heavily influenced by a NW DIY aesthetic and the NY experimental art/film scene. Past projects include a documentary about Kembra Pfahler, singer of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, and a personal experimental film about the death of a friend during the Riot Grrl era in Portland, OR. In 2021, they began work on City Folx, a queer, Bay Area online comedy project about housing insecurity, starring two local Drag Kings as a means to amplify gender expansive creators and performers.
