Abigail (Abby) Pope and Victoria (Tori) Campbell are a performance art duo based in New York City. The two met at a New England girl's boarding school, Westover School, when they were fourteen years old. Post college, Abby pursued photography, and Tori pursued theater. They brought their interests together and now collaborate by filmmaking, performing, photographing each other in their eclectic ensembles. Currently, they have amassed a body of work which consists of online comedy sketches, several series of fashion photographs, essays and poetry, and most recently, completed a feature film called, "The Hunt for Good Americans." The film, a fairy-tale, was made guerilla style, using the vast American landscape for their stage and a wide swath of characters they used as actors whom they met on the road. They costumed themselves and their collected characters with thrift shop finds from each place they visited and scripted the film in rhymed poetry.
Some of the collaborators in The Hunt for Good Americans include:
Lord Whimsy, author of "The Affected Provincial's Almanack"
Buick Audra, singer & songwriter
