Check out a brand new episode of This Is Happening! Eric Morris and special guest cohost Georgie Leahy sit down in NYC with the charming and talented Kit Williamson and John Halbach of the popular and provocative web series EASTSIDERS which is about to launch its 4th season. Created by Williamson, who wrote and directed the first 3 seasons, and produced by and starring Williamson and Halbach, EASTSIDERS takes an honest look at queer relationships through the lens of a group of friends in Silverlake, on the east side of Los Angeles. Williamson, Halbach and their cast don't hold back in this multi-season portrayal of people navigating life, love, careers, betrayal, and friendship. Williamson's hilarious and honest writing has attracted an amazing cast which has included Constance Woo, Van Hansis, Matthew McKelligon, Willam Belli, Tuc Watkins, Drew Droeghe, and Wilson Cruz.

The 4th and final season of EASTSIDERS, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, is debuting at film festivals including at Outfest in Los Angeles on July 20 - go to www.outfest.org for more info and tickets.

Kit and John open up about their journey in making EASTSIDERS and what it's like to be saying goodbye to it. We talk about their commitment to telling queer stories and what's next for them. They are as charming as they are talented. Enjoy!
