Starring in the feature film you wrote and are co-producing?!?! Are we insane to do this??? There's no better person to ask than someone who just got back from where you wanna go, so we’re gonna chat with the multi-hyphenate talent behind the dark-comedy-musical Peeping Todd, Chris Alan Evans, about doing just that. What is it like to carry a film as its lead actor while also balancing the demands of writing and producing, and the unpredictable challenges (and rewards) of bringing such a wild, genre-blending project to life? If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to wear all the hats on a feature film, this conversation is gonna be the chat for you.

Chris Alan Evans is an independent filmmaker, former broadcaster, and a graduate of Northwestern State University. After an award-winning career in radio—including three Louisiana Association of Broadcasters Major Market Station of the Year honors—he transitioned into filmmaking to chase a childhood dream. His recent short films Caught on Tape and Toots blend real-life stories with emotional drama and comedic heart. He has been part of the writing and producing teams on two recently completed feature films. The Twin, a horror rooted in family drama, which has received distribution deals with Vertical and Shudder; and Peeping Todd, a dark comedy musical thriller still on the festival circuit, in which he plays the title character. Based in Bossier Parish, Louisiana… Evans creates films that entertain while leaving audiences with something meaningful to think about.
