      "details": "Tracie Laymon is the writer/director of BOB TREVINO LIKES IT, which premiered at SXSW ‘24 where it won both the SXSW Grand Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature and the SXSW Audience Award. Starring John Leguizamo, Barbie Ferreira, French Stewart, Lauren \"Lolo\" Spencer and Rachel Bay Jones, the film was acquired by Roadside Attractions, and released theatrically in the US in Spring of 2025. The film continues to be sold internationally and is now available in the US on both Hulu and on digital.  Tracie is currently in development on multiple features, which she is also attached to direct.\r\r \r\rA Texas-native, Laymon spent some of her formative time as a teenager in Russia before returning to the States for college, where she began directing short films. She has been named to IFC’s list of emerging \"Icons\" and film innovators.  Tracie is a fierce advocate for the inclusion and representation of all genders as well as people with disabilities in front of and behind the camera. As a filmmaker, her goal is to amplify diverse perspectives through underdog stories––stories about reluctant heroes who find unexpected ways to succeed in the face of adversity. ",
