About the Writer/Director

Lara Gallagher is a writer and a director originally from rural Pennsylvania, where she was raised on a steady stream of television, polka, processed food, and wooded warfare with her three sisters. Her work focuses on small towns, dysfunctional families, and the kind of humor and relationships that are only possible when everything else is screwed up. Her shorts and music videos have screened at SXSW, Portland International, Victoria International, DC Shorts and online via Pitchfork, Spin, Rolling Stone and NPR.
