EXCLUSIVE: Emmy-winning producer and film exec Ryan Harrington has signed on as an executive producer of ALOK, the Oscar-contending short film directed by Alex Hedison that won the Audience Award at NewFest earlier this month.

Harrington, whose credits include Feras Fayyad’s film The Cave and the IDA Award-winning film A Place at the Table, joins Jodie Foster as an EP of ALOK, which centers on the gender non-confirming writer, humanist and media personality Alok Vaid-Menon.
