The RAY SISTERS, comprised of co-directors and sisters Austin + Westin Ray, grew up on an aquaculture farm on the Californian/Mexican border. When they weren't picking up tarantulas, they were inventing stories of time travel to Ancient Egypt. Collaborating together, the RAY SISTERS have shot documentaries in Iceland, North Africa, and the Mediterranean. Their narrative films and branded content have won awards at the Directors Guild of America, Austin Film Festival, Savannah Film Festival, HBO, & Moët & Chandon. In addition to their co-directing work, Westin has produced music videos for Interscope and short films that have appeared on VICE, Vimeo Staff Picks, and Short of the Week. Austin, as a film music composer, has scored films that have won Student Academy Awards and BAFTAs, premiered at Telluride Film Festival, and commercials for BMW, Amazon, and United Nations, as well as winning the 2019 Kinsale Shark Award for Best New Music Composer. The RAY SISTERS were selected for SHOOT Magazine’s 2019 New Directors Showcase, sponsored by the DGA. This led to them being signed by the NYC production company, The-Artery. In 2021, their PSA with Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness for the Wildlife Conservation Society won Silver at the 42nd Telly Awards. In 2022, their narrative short film “Before Seven” (starring Meaghan Martin) premiered at Cinequest Film Festival and had its online premiere on Omeleto with over 380,000+ views and counting. Their latest narrative short film “Spit it Out” (starring Eric Roberts & Kate Sumpter) has finished post production and will premiere on the 2024 film festival circuit.

The RAY SISTERS currently work as film/commercial co-directors.
