Director Biography - Drusilla Jean Talley-Williams
Drusilla's interest in film began in small town USA, in Easley, SC, after seeing "Gone with the Wind" on a middle school field trip. She finally found something more exciting than reading to broaden her imagination and take her to times, places, and events that she could only dream of. She began writing screenplays in college but spent her twenties and thirties working as a Human Resource Consultant while taking screenwriting classes and attending pitch competitions here and there. Then in 2020, there was the COVID lockdown, and she experienced an awakening. She decided that playing it safe is stupid and life is short. So she set out to do what she was always destined to do. She produced her first content, "The Unlearning of US: Episode 1, The Blue-gieman and US" of a six-part documentary series. The episode is available to view on Amazon Prime and Tubi.

What are the themes and central messages you wanted to convey with your submission?:
The message for this film is that there is a struggle to life no matter who you are. That can be compounded for those whose sexuality, appearance, or gender isn't the norm. Difficulties can sometimes become compounded and everyday situations can lead to doubt and uncertainty resulting in bad decisions. And also conveys that there was a lot of lost during COVID and there were some amazing souls that we need to grieve.
