Choosing Day
I wrote Choosing Day to participate in a film challenge—one month to come up with an idea, film it, edit it, and screen it. Our month was dedicated to the theme of courage.
Honestly, it was courageous simply to participate in this challenge (I was terrified). I wrote the script in less than a week. We shot fourteen pages in six hours in frigid conditions. We edited it together in under ten days. And I’m incredibly proud of the (mostly female, hey-o!) team.
Check out one of my favorite bits of writing from the film to the right!
F'd (another effing web series)
Co-created by Carly Otte and Teresa Catherine, F’d (another effing web series) follows four NYC-millennials as they navigate those all-too-familiar quarter-life crises.
Being a millennial is hard enough. Add in the attempt to juggle a thriving career, a love life, and meaningful friendships, and it’s hard not to feel f’d. But our crew do the best they can, and find plenty of chances to laugh and learn along the way.
Season One and Two are streaming now at fd-anothereffingwebseries.com and YouTube.
I am, to you, A Stranger An original solo show
Lights up on Lucy in her hotel room. It has been twelve days since President Lincoln was assassinated, twelve days since the manhunt began for Lucy's fiancé, John Wilkes Booth. Lucy attempts to pack her room at the National, as she is set to leave the country with her father, the newly appointed ambassador to Spain. But as she packs, memory overwhelms her--both of her romance with John and her friendship with Robert, the President's eldest son. As she relives and remembers the deep connection she shares with both men, she must confront her own guilt and consider what part she played in this horrific act of violence.
