Early life
[edit]Audley was born in St. Louis, Missouri to parents Jane and Michael and grew up in Lexington, Kentucky.[1] He attended Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School and then Lexington Catholic High School.[6] 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.[7][8] His pseudonym is an homage to his home state of Kentucky.[9]
Artistry
[edit]Early in his career, Audley was commonly associated with the Southern mumblecore movement, his first feature film Team Picture (2007) being principal among it.[10][11] He first became interested in film when he watched Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket (1996) in the eighth grade.[12] He has cited the likes of Jim Jarmusch, John Cassavetes, and Jean-Luc Godard as his inspirations.[13]
Personal life
[edit]Audley lives in Brooklyn with his wife and collaborator Caroline White.[14] The couple met in 2005 while visiting Graceland in Memphis and married in July 2016 at Box Hill Estate on Long Island, New York.[2][15]
