The Indie Darling Who's Finally Telling His Own Story Caleb Hearon has been making waves in Hollywood, but his latest project, Trash Mountain , is a deeply personal one.
Growing up in rural Missouri can leave an indelible mark on a person, particularly for young queer people like Hearon. The isolation and close knit community of small towns can be both a blessing and a curse.
Hearon has mined his Midwestern roots for comedic gold in his stand up routines, but with Trash Mountain , he takes a bold step into uncharted territory – writing and starring in a feature film that explores the complicated relationships between siblings after their hoarder father passes away.
