Vera Drew is a filmmaker and actor with a background in TV post-production. Once known in her alternative comedy circle as an “editor that thinks like a writer,” she edited and contributed visual effects to dozens of iconic comedy television shows, including Check it Out with Dr. Steve Brule, The Birthday Boys, KFRT Punk’s Political Party, season two of I Think You Should Leave, three seasons of Comedy Bang! 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?
A proud trans woman born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, she has been making funny, spooky, and queer short films and music videos for most of her life. Drew’s first feature film, The People’s Joker, a queer coming-of-age Batman parody, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022 to critical acclaim and minor controversy.
