FILM SYNOPSIS
There is a woman to be found all around in New York City. We look at her, yet we don’t see her. Her name is Audrey Munson. She gazes through thousands of people every day, waiting to be remembered, yet she is long forgotten. Dear Audrey seeks to discover who Audrey Munson really was -- an actress, muse, and writer who has been lost to history but whose image graces and investigates the human desire to be remembered and leave a mark in the world through arts.
