Andrew Callaghan Is Back With ‘Dear Kelly,’ a Poignant Documentary About a Pro-Trump Conservative Who Saved His Life (Exclusive)
Andrew Callaghan, the 27-year-old director and journalist known for his popular Channel 5 YouTube videos, is back with his most intimate project yet: “Dear Kelly.”
The documentary is Callaghan’s first major project since his directorial debut “This Place Rules,” which premiered on HBO in 2022. It also marks his return to feature filmmaking since he paused his career in light of sexual misconduct allegations in early 2023. After apologizing for his past behavior, Callaghan went on hiatus, began attending therapy and completed a 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous program. Now, he’s on tour showcasing “Dear Kelly” to fans across the country and plans to distribute it independently later this year.
“Dear Kelly” originated at a 2021 White Lives Matter rally in Huntington Beach, Calif., when Callaghan met a pro-Trump protester who called himself Kelly J. Patriot (real name: Kelly Johnson). In his man-on-the-street style, Callaghan interviewed Johnson for one of his Channel 5 videos.
