River Epperson is a writer, director, and filmmaker based in Chicago, IL.
A 2024 graduate of Indiana University, their artistic practice takes a multimedia approach: combining theatre, film, audio journalism, and the written word.
River grew up in a cornfield (literally), and started creating and telling stories as a way to escape the confines of rural Indiana.
An avid reader and connoisseur of media, his work draws from a variety of influences across genres and styles. His work focuses on how different artistic practices can collaborate and influence each other to tell the same story.
“Bruised Up” Video Out Now!
My video for ktwheels’ debut single “Bruised Up” is out now! Conceived, produced, filmed, and edited by River Epperson, using digital and Super 8mm motion picture film.
“It’s easy to make an audience cry, but hard to make an audience laugh. Laughed I did at Epperson’s stellar performance and comedic timing.”
