In 2015, Lady Gaga pushed boundaries in Hollywood with her moving track "Til It Happens to You," and the accompanying video was Devon Bostick's first appearance in a music video. While the majority of his career has been as an actor, the year saw him branch out and step into other kinds of projects, as well.
His directorial debut was a short film titled "Antidepressant," which he wrote and produced, following a sitcom show creator, played by Dean Norris of "Breaking Bad." It first premiered at the 21st annual Palm Beach International Festival and, in speaking about his project at the time, Bostick explained, "Last year I visited a few sitcom set[s] and was mesmerized by the showrunner, laughing louder, longer and harder than anyone in the audience for hours on end. I was curious if they were genuinely enthralled by their work, if it was just their job to laugh, or if their laughter was repressing something deeper. Mostly, after 14 years of acting, I wanted to see if I could direct."
In a fun change of pace, Bostick also narrated his first audiobook in 2015, "Welcome to the Shadowhunter Academy," by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan. During a video for Simon & Schuster Books, he spoke about his experience, saying, "It was very nerve-wracking. Everyone was great to work with. It's weird hearing your own voice, but a lot of fun doing different voices."
