Director's Bio:

William J. Stribling has seen "Weird Al" Yankovic in concert 18 times and counting. Perhaps less importantly, he works in Los Angeles as a director and screenwriter. His recent feature film BEAR WITH US spent a year garnering awards on the festival circuit before being picked up for distribution by Comedy Dynamics. William is a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts with degrees in Film & TV Production and Dramatic Literature. He also has a masters in screenwriting from Chapman University. But he credits any success to the clown camp he attended over the summers as a kid.
