River Epperson is a writer, actor, and director based in Bloomington, IN.
During his time at Indiana University Bloomington, where he studied Theatre, Film Production, and Creative Writing, River quickly learned he had a passion for storytelling in multiple mediums, as well as a particular interest in how the mediums influence each other.
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 mediums can collaborate and influence each other to create a unique experience for the audience.
“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.”
