John Cerrito (Writer/Director) was born and raised in Memphis, TN. John  grew up in his family’s restaurant, spraying himself in the face with the bar's soda gun at every opportunity. A self-proclaimed mama’s boy, John was raised in the mixed environment of a big southern family on one side and Catholic guilt Italians on the other.  John is an MFA thesis candidate at UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television. His directing credits include The Opposite of Echoes (2016) and Development (2019). He has a strong interest in LGBT activism and Queer Theory.  Above all else, John strives to make a difference by facilitating otherwise ignored or underrepresented social issues to the screen, to widen the dialogue and (hopefully) affect change.  He’s sort of what would happen if John Mulaney and Spongebob Squarepants had a baby. A sort of neurotic, super self-aware human Muppet, if you will.
