Lunatic: The Luna Vachon Story

What does an associate producer do?
In this case, it was a lot of helping with connections, setting up interviews, offering advice and suggestions, especially related to historical accuracy. When we were filming at the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion, I was both a runner, asking people to sit down for an interview and talk about Luna, but I was also one of the people asking the subjects questions.
I’m also a talking head in the film, and, later I was called in to do some voiceover work.

More details to come with the premiere and then making the film available to fans everywhere.
