Lorenzo Pisoni

Lorenzo began as a circus performer in The Pickle Family Circus founded by his parents, Peggy Snider and Larry Pisoni. In 1999, he became an actor, working on Broadway, off-Broadway, on television and in film. In 2009, with director Erica Schmidt, he created Humor Abuse, a play about growing up with a clown for a father. Winning numerous awards throughout the country over its four year run, the show inspired filmmaker Jennifer Westfeldt to convince Lorenzo to make a film about his relationship with his father, Larry. Circus Kid marks Lorenzo's directorial debut.
