TATE BAILEY is a poet, photographer, and cinematographer based in NASHVILLE, TN.

Armed with a film degree from Belmont University, Tate Bailey has spent the past two years crawling around on her hands and knees looking for a job. In the meantime, Bailey has been shooting for the documentary “Neighbors We Left Behind” (dir. Elizabeth Phillips), wandering around aimlessly, taking pictures when she can, and writing poetry about subjects like: the missed connections tab on the Nashville community Craigslist, worshipping the YMCA pool, and her Midwestern tendencies.
