serious artist

writer + director for theatre and film, currently based in brooklyn. striving to be a good listener

I tell stories of bizarre women navigating bizarre circumstances.

theatre: an alum of UNCSA's drama directing program + a former Peter F. Sloss fellow at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, I have worked with MCC, Signature Theatre, NAMT, 24 Hour Plays: Broadway + Nationals, and the North Carolina Symphony. I recently travelled to Italy to develop my next project at La MaMa’s international writer’s retreat, with full financial support from Kenan Institute!
this fall, a workshop run of PARK PLAY, created by me + Ally Merkel + Kate Pittard runs in Brooklyn. a play about walking/birding/listening.

movies: my first film Ruby premiered last year. my new short, experimental personal doc kid with a pearl earring is currently in its festival run. I produce as well.

the films I have written+directed have played with New/Next, Florida Film Festival, RiverRun, FilmFort, Defy, Brooklyn Film Festival, Sydney Underground, Mimesis, NFFTY and Motivate Underground.

films I have produced have played at Montclair Film Festival, FilmQuest, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, Roxy Cinema, Mama Farms.

i am developing my first feature. it’s about class + environmentalism in the american south, and young adult friendship . a comedy!
