Krissy Mahan is a working class daughter and filmmaker determined to create a world that is more fun for everyone. Mahan uses objects/animation as a way to disrupt normalized ideas about the way things are or are not.

Over the past twenty years Mahan has developed a body of work exposing the absurdity of man-made barriers to human movement, happiness, and social access.
