Lily Nussbaum is a filmmaker and self-proclaimed fangirl when it comes to the Harry Potter franchise, Greta Gerwig, and movie musicals. Lily has a special interest in exploring characters and their internal conflict on screen. She explores this passion in screenwriting.
With The Courage of Piggy, I wanted to make a film that truly captured the awkwardness of one of the most traumatic experiences in a teenage girl's life: a first kiss. Additionally, I wanted to explore how individual moments, no matter how funny, can affect somebody in the future.
