This year's shenanigans included being writer, co-director and Lou the Clown in Funny Business, Lou in Follow Through, Co-producer of What Once Was, and First Assistant Director on Safelight. All of these films tell stories of acceptance, some with LGBTQ+ representation. I've gotten to work with incredible people on these projects, and am excited to continue to tell stories like these that hopefully make peoples worlds a little warmer, and feel seen and understood.
