Audrey Marrs

Academy Award Winner Audrey Marrs.

Audrey Marrs is an Academy Award winning film producer. Her first documentary No End in Sight, was nominated for an Academy Award in 2007. At this year’s Oscars, Marrs and Charles H. Ferguson, took home the award in the category, Best Documentary Feature, for their film Inside Job. Their documentary follows the recent fall of “Wall Street” and the financial crisis between 2007-2010.

Marrs, who is of Japanese descent, grew up in Washington State with quite the artistic family. Her mother Mariko Marrs is a mixed media artist, and was also the set decorator for Inside Job. Leona Marrs, Audrey’s sister, played keyboards for the punk band, Pretty Girls Make Graves, until ’07.

The reasons for my lady crush  on Audrey Marrs are simple…

RIOT GrrrL!!!

Before becoming an Academy Award winning film producer, she was an independent art curator. But before that, Audrey was very active in Olympia’s underground music scene! She had been a member of several different area bands in her youth; her history includes being a part of the bands, Mocket, Gene Defcon, and most notably, Bratmobile.

Artistic women on the fringe, with creativity and vision can become respected members of a larger community! See, MOM!
