Emmy winner Ryan Harrington has joined Jodie Foster as an exec. producer of 'ALOK,' the short doc about Alok Vaid-Menon directed by Alex Hedison.

“Filmmaker Alex Hedison (she/they) delivers a compelling portrait of her friend, Alok Vaid-Menon (they/them), the internationally acclaimed, non-binary, author, poet, comedian, and public speaker,” notes a release about the film. “This thought-provoking short documentary explores the limitless expression of self, challenges societal norms, and inspires viewers to embrace personal freedom beyond the binaries that divide us.” Foster, the two-time Oscar winner who is married to Hedison, added, “We always hoped this film would meet the moment in culture and political conversations, and given how polarized we seem right now, the timing could not be more crucial.
