From a young age she has always been interested in art as her work was featured in an art gallery in New York. From her long passion of art and video making, her goals are to inspire and evoke emotions by creating a space for the audience to view a film from a different lens.
“wilminGton” is a documentary created by Audrey Smith and co-worked with Jaylen LeBron. This documentary is prevalent to show audiences the effect gentrification has on our community. Not only is this happening in our local community, but is something that occurs all over the world, especially as cities begin to grow.
