When Ellen Haun and Dru Johnston needed to meet a deadline for health insurance through their union, they decided to get creative.
Creative inspiration can strike from anywhere. For married couple Ellen Haun and Dru Johnston, both in the entertainment industry, it came from a place of necessity.
But despite that scramble, she began to fear there wasn't enough time or potential bookings for her to meet her deadline of December 31. After discussing this crisis, the couple came up with an unorthodox solution – why not make a short filmThus, the concept for the short film,It will be written and produced by Haun and Johnston, with Haun starring and Johnston directing.
"We were like, if we're going to do that, we're going to go all out, and we might as well try to get as many actors as possible health insurance," Johnston said. "I think this is why both Dru and I are in comedy. Writing about the absurdity of how much [insurance] costs and how hard it is to keep your doctor if your insurance changes? I don't know, there's humor in it. It makes me feel a lot better to laugh about it," Haun said.After getting married, the couple was able to claim each other for health insurance coverage. Now, they'll both rely on Ellen meeting the minimum.
