Welcome to #37 in our countdown The Summer Bummer S4Ep6! Today, joining us is a true OC fan and a new friend of mine. Lovell Holder is an award winning Film producer, writer, actor and director. He produced the feature films Peak Season, Midday Black Midnight Blue, The End of Us, Working Man, Some Freaks, and Loserville (which he also directed). He recently completed production on the feature film adaptation of the play Lavender Men, which he directed, co-wrote, and produced. His debut novel, The Book of Luke, will be published by Grand Central Publishing in hardcover and audiobook in Fall 2025. He is a graduate of Princeton University and has a masters of fine art from Brown University and loves Julie Cooper which makes him the perfect person to discuss The Summer Bummer!
