My award-winning play Strangers was made into a short-length film and I am told will be ready to screen in May or early June! Hooray. Check out photos from the shoot above. The film was directed by Carter Martin and Tim Tavano DPed. Our producer is Julie Mynatt. Strangers stars Lisa Herceg and Sean Patrick Leonard. Look for further announcements about screenings. Since I last updated my site, The Nerdy Girl & The Intergalactic Dog, my children's show (new and improved with music) was produced with Rascal (At the Side Project) with Dan Foss's fabulous direction. I had a reading of my new screwball comedy, The Double with Babes with Blades. And finally, my short film scripts Donuts and Blindsided are in pre-production. I have also recently completed a second draft of my full-length Echo. I am finally, finally on a mission to send my scripts out: The Vanished (Full-length - Sword-fighting females, 15th century Spain), Echo (Full-length - A family drama) and The Nerdy Girl & The Intergalatic Dog (45 minutes - Children's show with music). PLEASE SEND ANY CONTESTS OR PLAY REQUESTS MY WAY IF YOU SEE THEM. My goal this year is to finish a new play called The Laughing Circle and a new full-length film.
