Brianna L. DeLuca is an experimental filmmaker.

In 2010 she began dancing with Island Moving Company, a ballet company in Newport RI, which inspired her work to focus on the combination of environment and performance. While attending The Rhode Island School of Design for her BFA in Film/Animation/Video she merged both visual art with dance and performance pieces such as INPLAINSIGHT, which combined projected animation and dance. Her first short film, //THEVISUALMIXTAPE//, was completed in April of 2018. The short featured no dialogue, combined dreamscapes and personal memories. Less than a year later it was recognized by The Academy Awards student competition as a semifinalist in the 2018 festival. In 2019 she finished graduate school focusing on art education.
