BEHIND THE FEST

CHRIS McNEANY

FESTIVAL PROGRAMMER

​

Chris McNeany is a writer/producer/actor who is passionate about bringing positive bisexual stories to film and TV. He graduated Cum Laude from College of the Holy Cross with a B.A. in English Literature. After graduating, he lived in Ecuador for a year to teach English as a Second Language. He then moved to NYC to dance for five years. After performing in musicals/plays and living in lots of sublets, he started making short films. He wrote/produced/acted in the short film "More Than He Knows," which has gotten over 3 million views on YouTube. He is hell bent on making this sexy little short film into a feature film or TV series. His short films have screened at Stamped Film Festival, and is thrilled to be programming for the festival this year. His favorite roles have been as a caregiver for his grandmother when she had pancreatic cancer and his mother when she had terminal brain cancer. He wouldn't trade those for anything.
