Jack Haven, formerly known as Brigette Lundy-Paine, announced their name change on Instagram, inspired by their great-great-uncle, songwriter Haven Gillespie. They shared that the name 'Jack' felt right after usage in safe spaces during workshops. Known for their role in the the critically acclaimed film 'I Saw The TV Glow,' Haven openly identifies as non-binary, having come out publicly in 2019. The film is recognized for its allegorical narrative on the trans experience and has resonated with the LGBTQ+ community, further establishing Haven's presence in the industry.
Haven is after my great great uncle, Haven Gillespie who was a songwriter known for the Xmas hit 'Santa Clause is Coming to Town' which he wrote on the subway in 15 minutes.
I said I was using it in safe spaces. Saman said use it in dangerous spaces. So I use it in the men's bathroom.
I'm non-binary, always felt a lil bit boy, lil bit girl, lil bit neither. Using they/them as of late n it feels right.
The film 'I Saw The TV Glow' has become a critically acclaimed cult hit, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community, understood as an allegory for the trans experience.
