The amazingly talented Iranian-American filmmaker Desiree Akhavan will be joining us for our first #Shortitout Q&A!
Best known for her directorial debut feature Appropriate Behaviour (2014) and more recently The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018), she also wrote, directed and starred in the Channel 4 series The Bisexual. We will be chatting with Desiree about her filmmaking journey from her lesbian comedy web series The Slope (2010) to Grand Jury Prize Winner at Sundance Film Festival for The Miseducation of Cameron Post and making films about a subject that deeply personal to you.
