synopsis An unlikely inter-species courtship. director Denise Iris is a filmmaker and digital media artist whose work playfully transforms everyday situations into heightened moments and imaginary worlds filled with wonder, offering a wry commentary on contemporary life.

They have won the Golden Gate Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival, the Critics' Prize at the Dakino International Film Festival, the Runner Up Prize at A.F.I.'s Visions of U.S. Competition, and a Director's Choice Award at the Black Maria Film Festival. They are in Harvard University's permanent collection. Denise Iris holds an MFA from Columbia University and a BA from Brown University. She also attended the Centre Odéon d'Etudes Critiques in Paris and the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. She has received grants and fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Jerome Foundation, N.Y. State Council on the Arts, N.Y. Foundation for the Arts, Artslink, Art Matters, and the Experimental TV Center.
