Facelift
A very creepy short where I get to go from 55 to 30 years old and play with some other fun fx as well.
I loved this script because it's a horror film that also touches on hard truths about what it means to age in this country and how much pressure we, especially women, feel to stay young.

The Light of the Moon
An equally heartwarming and heartbreaking film about the aftermath of sexual assault. The director--and my good friend--Jessica Thompson took this baby all the way to SXSW and won the Audience Choice Award.

Seek
The first short I wrote, co-directed, produced, and acted in (whew!). I'm proud to say that this lil guy showed in some lovely festivals and was even shortlisted for Tropfest! A dark comedy about judging others.

Confessions of a Teenage
Jesus Jerk
A great coming of age film that brought out my inner cheerleader. Fun Fact: When Eric wrote to offer me the role of Lori I thought it was a hoax and told him "I'm some simp, bub! Prove you are who you say you are." And then he did.

Deep in the Darkness
The movie that got me my SAG card! (and also on Wiki-feet, apparently I'm barely average). This is a fun creature film if ever you're in the mood.
