Born in 1983, Storm Garner is a consummate creative writer, musician, performer and visual artist based in New York City, hoping to carry on the work of her father, an international political conflict negotiator, through the arts, especially now filmmaking. Born in Washington DC, raised mostly in Paris, trained as a classical violinist from age 3, she co-wrote her first Discovery-Channel produced screenplay at 14, published her first poems at 16, started a theatre company in Kraków at 20, came to NYC at 22 to work at La Mama Experimental Theatre Company as a composer and performer... expecting to succumb to a slew of health challenges shortly thereafter. Instead, her health improved. Which has given her more time to create works that, she hopes, will increase inter-cultural empathy, provide comfort and hope, and rouse audiences to action against injustice. She's studied at the New England Conservatory, St. John's College, Georgetown University, and Columbia University, where she's grounded her new practice in the medium of film and video in theory since 2010, while constantly expanding her creative skillsets and exposures through professional collaborations in film, theatre, music, art, and in the activist landscape. She now works regularly in independent film as a Production Designer, Costume Designer, and Co-Writer.
