Female-led Films
So for the past two years, I haven’t entered many screenplay contests. This is a calculated shift in my approach to my career. My scripts were placing highly but the results weren’t moving the needle on my career. I made an exception for my latest short script and tried a new contest, Cinequest because it is attached to an awesome festival.
I’m pleased to announce it has made the semifinals (Top 50) and is in the running for the finals. Here’s hoping! This is the next short I intend to make.
My screenplay for IRA: Cashing In was officially selected for the Austin Micro Short Film Festival. Not sure what this means, but I’ll take it! I’m looking forward to seeing all the micro shorts at this festival and meeting groovy people.
The shoot for IRA: Cashing In is slated for early September. Stay tuned for more updates.

My feature script Trap Doors has been named a semi-finalist in the CineStory Retreat and Fellowship Contest. I get to go to California for a few days of one-on-one mentoring with industry professionals. Doors are opening for me! (pun intended)

My plan is for Trap Doors to be my feature directorial debut. Stay tuned for more information about this project after IRA: Cashing In wraps in early September.
