On today's episode I have actress, and filmmaker, Vera Drew!
Vera's new the film "The People's Joker" is quickly becoming a hit after her recent win at The Gotham Awards. This film is unlike anything I have seen and is so incredibly unique as Vera tells her story of coming out as a trans woman through the lens of the Joker.
I talked with Vera about how she got her start in the industry, how the concept of the film came about, the catharsis of telling her story on her own terms, advice for those in the LBTQ community, or anybody struggling to tell their story, the films amazing guests stars, and so much more.
A huge thanks to Vera Drew for taking the time to join me on the show today. I had such a great time talking with her and learning her story. Make sure to follow her on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com and please go check out the film on Mubi or buy it now on Amazon!
Thanks, Vera!
Enjoy the episode!
