S2E2: JESS MCLEOD IS NORMAL?

9:59am - 10:59am

This week we got to chat with a dear friend of the show: actor, producer, and director/co-writer of DTF?, the multi-talented Jess McLeod! Sharing insights on their 20+ years experience as actor, we chat about the trials of auditions, managing expectations, and encountering major commercial success for the first time (catch them as Janae Matthews in Netflix’s “One of Us is Lying.”) A non-binary creative themself, we also shared fruitful discussion on what it’s like to navigate queer identity on both the big screen, and in daily life - AND, how those experiences inform our creative projects and the representation we want to see.
