The Filmmaker
A native New Yorker, Daria Price is a filmmaker with a diverse background, who works in both documentary and fiction films.
Her first feature documentary, OUT ON A LIMB, received the NY Women In Film & TV Finishing Fund Grant and won the "Best Documentary Award" at the 2013 Boston International Film Festival. Distributed by NETA, it played on numerous PBS stations, and is distributed by APTWorldwide internationally. She produced, directed, and edited DRIVEN TO ABSTRACTION, about the greatest hoax ever of Modern American Art. Distributed by Grasshopper Films, it was featured in The Guardian when it premiered at London’s 2019 Raindance Film Festival and was nominated for Best Doc. Daria wrote, directed, and edited the award-winning satirical mystery SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, which lampooned America's obsession with youth and beauty and featured The Soprano's Aida Turturro in a comedic role. Her screenplay, BLOOD FROM A STONE, about the fractured friendship between two artists and the woman who mends it, was selected by the WGAe for a staged reading, featuring Patricia Clarkson. Her current screenwriting project is RAW MATERIAL, a limited narrative series about a rocky romance between two passionate young writers rescued by a New Deal work-relief program as a divided America climbs out of the Depression and heads for world war. A former script supervisor on feature films and episodics, she is a member of Writers Guild of America East. |
