Riki Lindhome recently gave fans a fresh perspective on her latest creative venture, posting a striking set of behind-the-scenes snapshots under the hashtag #35pictures. The Instagram gallery consists of 35 images captured on set, showcasing candid moments and stylish portraits. In her caption—“When your brilliant co-director is also a professional photographer @elisabeth.caren. #35pictures”—Lindhome praised co-director Elisabeth Caren for both helming the camera and guiding the film’s visual tone.
Actress To Director
Lindhome is best known for her comedic flair and versatile performances. A graduate of Wright State University, she rose to prominence as half of the musical comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates and later co-created and starred in the Comedy Central series Another Period. She has since appeared in films such as Knives and Skin (2019) and Hulu’s Into the Dark. Now, she is stepping into the director’s chair for the first time, co-directing her upcoming project alongside Caren and marking a new chapter in her multifaceted career.
Behind The Lens: Elisabeth Caren’s Dual Role
Elisabeth Caren has built a reputation as both a filmmaker and a photographer, and in this project she wears both hats. The on-set gallery reveals her skill at framing Lindhome against a variety of backdrops—whether it’s a moody studio setup or an outdoor location flooded with natural light. Each image balances polished editorial style with spontaneous moments, underscoring Caren’s ability to capture the narrative behind the lens while maintaining the flow of production.
A Familiar Creative Tease
This isn’t the first time Lindhome has teased fans with her love of on-camera imagery. In an earlier Instagram post, she joked about “BEGGING my husband to take pictures of me” and previewed the #35pictures concept with a playful nod to her real-life glamour shots. That post hinted at a forthcoming video, and now the full on-set gallery offers a glimpse of the polished final product. The continuity between her lighthearted teases and the professional series underscores her hands-on approach to storytelling.
From Stage To Screen: A Career In Motion
Since making her film debut in 2006, Lindhome has continually expanded her creative horizons. She starred in the indie thriller Knights of Badassdom (2013), voiced characters in animated features and podcasts, and appeared in Amazon’s anthology series Modern Love (2020). She also joined the Three Questions with Andy Richter podcast to share personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories. This new directorial effort is the latest milestone for an artist who has never shied away from exploring new mediums.
On-set Sneak Peek
Among the snapshots are close-up portraits highlighting Lindhome’s expressive range—her thoughtful gaze in a black-and-white frame, a spontaneous laugh under string lights, and moments of quiet focus as she reviews pages of the script. Caren’s use of depth and contrast elevates these stills, turning production downtime into an artful photo series. Fans have flooded the comments with praise, noting the images feel more like a curated editorial spread than standard behind-the-scenes content.
With #35pictures, Lindhome and Caren invite audiences into their collaborative universe, blending candid moments with professional polish. The gallery not only highlights Lindhome’s evolution from performer to director but also showcases Caren’s photographic finesse—proof that sometimes the most compelling stories unfold when roles both on and off camera converge.
