MUSHROOM SEEKERS is an hour-long documentary that chronicles the filmmaker’s first experiences with mushroom picking. She journeys through the Czech Republic, where mushroom picking is considered a national pastime; the United States, where it is rare; and Mexico, a place that considers mushroom picking protectively sacred yet commodifiable.

PAM KRAY (www.pamkray.com) is a multi-media artist who lives and works in New York City. Her finished works are technically diverse explorations of her life through her own and others' bodies, landscapes and pursuits of happiness.
She has exhibited extensively in the United States and throughout Europe, screening at Anthology Film Archives and Millennium Film Workshop (New York), Artists' Television Access and San Francisco Art Institute (San Francisco), Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore), Eiszeit (Berlin), Lichtmess Kino (Hamburg), and others.
