Show Notes

Anna Kerrigan is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker with a background in independent film, digital storytelling and theater. HOT SEAT, which she wrote and directed, premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. She also directed THE CHANCES, a digital series written by and starring two deaf actors, which also premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. We specifically chatted with her about her film Cowboys, which was a 2020 Tribeca selection, in addition to Outfest, Frameline, Nashville, Newfest, and Leiden. Anna won the award for Best Screenplay at Tribeca and the film won the Audience Award for Best Feature at Nashville Film Festival. And since we chatted, Cowboys got picked up by Samuel Goldwyn and will be released early next year!
