Vera Drew is a filmmaker and actor who came up in TV post-production. She’s edited and contributed visual effects to dozens of comedy televisions shows, including Check It Out With Dr. Steve Brule, The Birthday Boys, I Think You Should Leave, Comedy Bang! Bang! on IFC, and On Cinema. In 2019, she was nominated for an Emmy for her work on Sacha Baron Cohen’s Who Is America. That same year, she launched Tim and Eric’s streaming TV network (for which she wrote and directed four series and hours of original content). Most recently, Vera Drew finished her first feature film, The People’s Joker, a Queer coming of age comic book parody that premiered theatrical in April, to critical acclaim and mild controversy. A proud trans woman born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, she has been making funny, spooky, and/or queer short films and music videos for most of her life.
