Amy Teboul ’23 found herself working as a bug-wrangler senior year. Her job: order a live beetle and get it to crawl up the half-naked body of a student actor in a gay erotic short, Good Morning I Love You, which she produced. “The director and I decided that using an animatronic beetle would look too camp,” she says. The beetle-whispering was worth it: the short was awarded Best Indie LGBT Film 2023 by Best Film Awards. She loved the way producing bridges the creative and pragmatic. “The director lays out a creative vision for a script,” she says, “but making it all happen is the producer’s responsibility.” She reached out to producer Josh Sondock ’18 through BrownConnect+ and ended up working on projects including a Harry Styles video. Teboul is now at Searchlight Pictures, where she’s worked on the marketing launch of films including A Real Pain, Nightbitch, and A Complete Unknown.
