Bren Vienrich-Felling (she/ her) is a Peruvian-American filmmaker, photographer, designer and educator who explores stories that focus on human connections in nature, identity and habitual practices. At the heart of her practice is a fascination with the undervalued: human interactions with everyday rituals, the reimagining of organic materials and the persistent presence of nature within a landscape overhauled by man-made systems. 

Her short film, “Talk to Me” (2024) on the theory of plant communication, was selected for Best Film at the 2024 Durham UK Film Festival, in addition to being selected for the 2025 London Short Film Festival, the 2024 Micropolitan Film Festival, and the 2024 Cindependent Short Film Festival. Her analog experimental short, “Under the Tooth” (2024) was selected for the 2025 Moviate Underground Film Festival.

Bren holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (2010), a Master of Fine Arts from Duke University’s Experimental and Documentary Arts program (2025), and a Certificate in College Teaching from Duke University (2025).
