DIRECTORS

I'm a director and writer. I look to elevate my LGBTQ+ community, women & other overlooked voices in the documentary, narrative & branded spaces. 

Oftentimes, my storytelling centers underrepresented protagonists looking for levity. I like to subvert expectations to spotlight observational truths. Fascinated by the assumptions surrounding marginalized groups, I explore the many facets of the human condition and the million truths behind American folklore, examining these complexities to humanize shared experiences. Comedic empathy for the underdogs, satirical honesty for those in power. 

My “quirky” dramedy scripts centering complicated women have placed as a Finalist, Top 8, Semifinalist & Second Rounder at festival competitions like Austin Film Festival, Tony Cox's Screenplay Competition at Nantucket, HollyShorts, Cinequest, ScreenCraft and more. My debut documentary feature, Our dad, Danielle, was thoroughly independent and made possible with a grant from The John Steven Kellett Foundation and crowd-funding. We were fortunate to win the Best Documentary Jury Award at Manchester Film Festival, LGBTQ+ Voices Jury Award & Audience Award at Portland Film Festival and the Audience Award at Vail Film Festival. 

I'm currently hard at work on our next feature documentary, Lick Me: The Cherry Vanilla Story, about an unsung counterculture revolutionary who was a glam-punk pioneer and at 81 she is still as punk as ever. Please reach out if you’re interested in learning more as we need more funding to keep going and we would absolutely love a seasoned, badass producer to come on board and rock it out with us.
