Cailan Compierchio

Cailan Compierchio is a writer and filmmaker from Verona, New Jersey whose main goal in life is to make people laugh. She enjoys experimenting with surrealism and satire, and really hopes that you enjoy her film (but if you don’t, please don’t tell her, she won’t be able to handle it). She believes strongly in the power of comedy, and its ability to help unite people in times of hardship. She hopes that her work can bring a smile to someone’s face. Cailan would like to thank her parents for always believing in her and supporting her love of film from day one.
