Kentucker Audley

Early life Audley was born in St. Louis, Missouri to parents Jane and Michael and grew up in Lexington, Kentucky. He attended Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School and then Lexington Catholic High School. He began his studies in film and video production at Savannah College of Art & Design and gained experience at the Memphis Digital Media Co-Op before going on to graduate from the University of Memphis in 2005. His pseudonym is an homage to his home state of Kentucky.

Artistry Early in his career, Audley was commonly associated with the Southern mumblecore movement, his first feature film Team Picture (2007) being principal among it. He first became interested in film when he watched Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket (1996) in the eighth grade. He has cited the likes of Jim Jarmusch, John Cassavetes, and Jean-Luc Godard as his inspirations.

Personal life Audley lives in Brooklyn with his wife and collaborator Caroline White. The couple met in 2005 while visiting Graceland in Memphis and married in July 2016 at Box Hill Estate on Long Island, New York.
