My Life as a Screenwriter
So. My biggest love is screenwriting and video production. My favorite scripts to write are comedies with a soft side (think: HBO’s Somebody Somewhere). Outside of my day job, I’ve been building up my screenwriting portfolio over the past few years, and I’ve got some work that I’d love to share if you’re into that kinda thing! Also, selfishly, I’m sharing it here in case someone finds it and wants to help me make any of these. :)

I’m spending most of my time right now working on the first draft of a feature-length mystery about a murder at a destination wedding called The Honor of Your Presence.
Logline:
Evelyn (29) ignores her instincts and attends the destination wedding of her former best friend, knowing that she may have to confront secrets from their buried past. Things go from cordial to creepy as Evelyn realizes that her paranoias about a missing groomsman aren’t nearly as dark as the truth.

I have a comedy pilot called Coasting, which is a workplace comedy inside of a gym on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I pitched Coasting at the July 2019 Austin Film Festival Pitch Workshop & Competition and I won! That means I snagged a free badge for the 2019 Festival AND a pitch slot for the official competition!
(Plot twist: Coasting placed in the Top 100 Comedy of the ISA Table Read My Screenplay Genre Competition!)

I have a pilot called Mall Walkers that I love dearly and really, really want to make (do you know a producer?).
Logline:
Unable to deal with some of her major life changes, bored retiree June channels her existential crisis into an unexpected mission; saving the dying mall where she power walks every day.

The first feature-length screenplay I wrote is a comedy called Losing Streak.
Logline:
Maria (32) spends her days online, obsessing over crime podcasts and failing to be a real-life detective. When she stumbles upon the biggest case of her non-existent career, she'll have to get a clue if she's going to prove she's more than just a fangirl.
(Another plot twist: Losing Streak was a 2019 Screencraft Comedy Quarterfinalist! 🎉)

I have a Broad City spec that perfectly reflects my obsession with the BC voice and a Brooklyn Nine-Nine spec that celebrates the weirdness of the Nine-Nine.
