Eliza Fernbach lives and works in Hoboken, NJ and Merigomish, Nova Scotia. She specializes in cinema/installation art and collaborative projects. Currently she is in production on "Rumour Becomes Line", a short film inspired by the poem "!" written by the Canadian poet Anne Simpson. She has worked with Buck Henry, ("The New Yorker") and recently appeared in Zoe Beloff's film "Charming Augustine". In 2006-7 Eliza was the founding artist-in-residence at Bloomfield College, NJ where she completed the installation "Amaze Labyrinth". The work was a culmination of experiments initiated at the Atlantic Centre for the Arts in New Smyrna Florida. She was the first film director to implement the PAWSTM camera array-(the effect seen in "the Matrix" films) in her short film "Time Suspended". Her one woman show "A Quest for Man" toured Fringe festivals internationally and she continues to draw on her Classical theatre training at the Royal National Theatre in London in her collaborative art and cinema work. Eliza is a member of The Actor's Equity Association, The College Art Association and the Merigomish Equestrian team
