Keil Orion Troisi ("Jeff Walburn") has been a core member of The Yes Men since 2012, and co-wrote and produced most of their performance-interventions since 2016. He has collaborated with dozens of activist groups all over the world, using humor and mischief to advance environmental and social justice campaigns. He co-directed "Total Disaster" (2022) which had a 50+ festival run, won the David Imoh Sunday Social Justice Prize and took awards at Kursaal San Sebastien, Just Film, Better World, and Cine Eco Seia. He produced and co-wrote "Peace Pipeline," which won Best Documentary at Dallas VideoFest, ND Human Rights, Wolf Tree, Skoden, Jim Thorpe, Hell’s Half Mile, Fresh Coast, and others. He directed the corporate-horror features "Human Resources" and "I Was a Teenage Horror Movie!” (which has been an audience favorite across the genre-festival circuit). His films combine humor, horror, and playfulness to antagonize systems of power.
