Welcome

krissy mahan is a self-taught working class filmmaker whose work uses humor to explore contemporary issues such as accessibility, gender expression and classism. She has been amusing herself and audiences with short movies since the mid-90s.

A self-taught troublemaker, mahan lives on Lenapehoking, the traditional and current lands of the Lenni Lenape, known also as South Jersey, USA. She has long observed the cultural boycott in support of the Palestinian people, and is outraged and heartbroken with the US-supported genocide there. Mahan has lived for 50+ years in a working class post-industrial area filled with complicated family stories and ways of getting by.
