Kyle Hausmann-Stokes Was a Bronze Star Paratrooper in Iraq. Now He Has One of the Hottest Films at SXSW
'My Dead Friend Zoe' director Kyle Hausmann-Stokes discusses serving in Iraq and the 'surreal' experience of Travis Kelce investing in his debut film.
Hausmann-Stokes, now 41, joins a small group of players who have served, including Adam Driver, Ron Meyer, Oliver Stone, Clint Eastwood and Freeman. Freeman, who served in the Air Force for four years in the late ’50s, portrays another Vietnam vet, one based on a real-life person who helped Hausmann-Stokes confront his PTSD. With his lineup in place, the writer-director closed the budget gap with money from Radiant Media Studios’ Ray Maiello and Mike Field and Kelce, all of whom used funds generated by federal green energy tax credits to invest in “Zoe.”
