director biography
Comedians and performers, Betsy and Dara first met in 2012 in an UCB improv class. Since, they’ve written and produced the absurdist teen drama parody, The Place We Live (IFC.com), Bounty Hunters, and UnSolvable (Paste Funniest Videos of 2017), which led the AV Club to dub them “Genre Queens of Comedy”. More recently, they’ve been exploring the role of comedy in understanding women’s health, and their short film comedy, Amazing Bagel—about a woman who has a miscarriage without realizing she was ever pregnant—was an official selection of The Maryland Film Festival, Cucalorus, and The Nitehawk Cinema’s Audience Choice Award. You can catch Betsy voicing the role of Angie on Netflix’s Motown Magic, and you can see Dara in the upcoming Comedy Central sketch show, Alternatino.
