Director Biography – John Reardon
John Reardon grew up on Long Island, New York. There, he cultivated a passion and excitement for films and filmmaking. Having made films throughout High School, John decided to pursue this further, and now attends the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he’s taken classes on directing, screenwriting and producing, and has directed several student films of his own.
Director Statement
This short film, “The Secret to Good Living,” is the marriage of the things I’ve learned in my time at film school, and a sort of High School-esque sensibility, hence why I decided to cast my actual friends from that time. And despite the obvious absurdity that comes with a film about a guy trying to self-castrate, it’s also geared to talk about why male relationships often struggle to have meaningful communication and openness in the world we live in today.
