My Take
June Diane Raphael is the kind of comic mind I root for: trained at NYU Tisch, equally at home writing, performing, and hosting a podcast. Her work on Grace and Frankie showed real presence, but what impresses me most is her insistence on authorship. Co-writing and starring in a Sundance film with creative partner Casey Wilson is not the move of someone content to wait for roles. In a comedy landscape that still makes it hard for women to control the page, she keeps carving her own path. Smart, self-determined, and a little fearless, she is exactly the sort of artist worth following closely.
