Get to know the filmmaker:

I was doing a stand up comedy gig as one of my characters, Pistachio. I was presenting a PowerPoint on the true History of Thanksgiving and came up with this idea of the first white male making a deal with demons for more privilege. Once I heard the audience die over the “But white people had to give up the ability to dance or season their food properly” I knew I was onto something. From there ideas just kept coming to me until I knew I had to make this no matter what.
