Ariel Gardner is a writer, director, editor, and multidisciplinary artist from Los Angeles, CA. His character-driven films draw on bleak deadpan humor, emotional unease, and handmade realism, often blurring the line between sincerity and irony. He is also a co-founder of the radical editing collectives RACER TRASH and DREAM VIDEO DIVISION, known for collaboratively remixing Hollywood films into maximalist, psychedelic works.
