ALISON MURRAY was 15 when she ran away from Canada for London and had some crazy adventures while living in Europe. She eventually studied dance and theatre before completing an MA in Film Direction at the Royal College of Art. She's been making award-winning short films since Kissy Suzuki Suck. Her work was presented alongside that of Harmony Korine, Paul Thomas Anderson, Michel Gondry and Atom Egoyan in RET. INEVITABLE at Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage - an event billed as "screening today's most important visualists". The Institute of Contemporary Art in London has presented a retrospective of her short films, also shown at the Tate Gallery. In 2000 Alison completed TRAIN ON THE BRAIN, an hour long documentary for Channel 4 and TVOntario in which she hopped freight trains across North America, armed with a DV and Super 8 camera. MOUTH TO MOUTH (starring Ellen Page) is her first feature film as a script writer and director. Right now she is working on a new documentary called CARNY about traveling fairground workers.
