Greg Porper

Greg Porper is an award-winning writer, director, and producer known for edgy, unexpected comedies that push rule- followers and rebels out of their comfort zones, blending humor and tension to spark laughs and gasps. In addition to writing and directing Don't Tell Larry, Porper served as the film's lead producer, strategically crafting, pitching, and executing the film's business plan, securing all of the financing from over three dozen investors, and managing daily operations overseeing a team of more than 100 people throughout the film's life cycle. Working as a development executive and freelance producer for over ten years, Porper has also developed and produced shows for Netflix, Fox, ESPN, MTV, truTV, Viceland, Discovery+, and more. He created, sold, and served as showrunner for the ten-episode CW digital series, Worst Birthday Ever. His pilot scripts and shorts have been featured on The Black List, College Humor, Funny or Die, and have screened at festivals all across the country. Porper is also working with producer Rachel Winter (Dallas Buyers Club) on his next dark comedy feature. Porper is a proud Northwestern alum who bleeds purple (though he should probably get that checked out by a doctor).
