Coming from a small town in southern Minnesota, Percy has always considered himself a creator, no matter the medium. Percy is an amazing writer with an unique creative eye for specific aesthetics and is deeply inspired by the producer and director Jordan Peele, in that he is a huge fan of horror movies, thrillers, and mysteries of the like.
My trans identity has always been a huge part of who I am and I'm very proud of it. While it's not solely what defines me, I'm always excited to showcase this and tell trans stories-- in hopes of tearing down the demonization of trans bodies that we have seen in media lately. I am trans and proud.
