FILMMAKER AND SCREENWRITER

I create genre and hybrid genre TV Series and Films, and I like to think of myself as a queer futurist! I love dark comedy, raw emotion, high stakes, and emotionally rooted narratives.. I love bold, imperfect, tragicomic human beings and circumstances. I love narratives that can be grounded, and heightened. I love liminal space. My worlds are boldly diverse, queer saturated, femme forward, muscular and tender, multi-lingual and multi-generational, and break down societal norms with an irreverent and passionate wrecking ball. My goal is to elevate and evolve genre storytelling, and to place characters and circumstances in the forefront of stories in which they've been--if included at all--often sidelined, stereotyped, and ridiculed. My work is a lot like me: punk, queer, and geeky. It's loving, but always has a bite. It is both familiar and alien. It is emotional, and cerebal. It is serious, and not so serious. It believes that silliness can be as powerful an act of resistance as any other, but it's not afraid to rage and scream against a world full of broken systems, broken dreams, suffering, and cruelty.
