Michael Mohan’s new film, the erotic thriller <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CSFX3NP/?ref=DVM_US_DL_SL_GO_AST_21VOYR_mkw_sTXIQHLhA-dc_pcrid_544725152548" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Voyeurs</a>, starring Sydney Sweeney, Justice Smith, Ben Hardy and Natasha Liu Bordizzo, is out now on Amazon Prime Video. Mohan received critical acclaim for his short film Pink Grapefruit, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Award for Narrative Short at SXSW Film Festival. He co-created and executive produced the Netflix original series Everything Sucks!, which he also directed. This ’90s-set coming-of-age series, which also stars Sydney Sweeney, became an instant cult favorite, as many LGBTQ+ youth across the globe still use it as a tool to help them come out to their parents. Additionally, Michael wrote and directed the independent film Save the Date starring Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, and Martin Starr, which premiered in competition at Sundance and later released by IFC Films. Previously, Michael was the senior coordinator at the Sundance Writing and Directing Labs, under Michelle Satter. Films developed during his time there include Taika Waititi&#8217;s Boy, Cary Fukunaga&#8217;s Sin Nombre, and Dee Rees&#8217; Pariah.
