the night before and the day of 🤍
i’ve always spent summers at my nana’s bungalow in rockaway beach. when i was little, i’d sit on her lap in the rocking chair, staring out the window, waiting for my cousin hannah to appear so that we could dart up the block and into the ocean together. floating over massive waves, giggling uncontrollably. taking breaks to collect tiny, perfect shells and hide them under the boardwalk in cool sand. we were mermaids until the sun went down. there was nothing more exciting on earth than seeing hannah walk into the bungalow court. she lit up my world then and she still does now. wishing her and bryan a lifetime of joy and love :)
We are so excited that DON’T TELL MAMA premieres at @woodstockfilmfestival on Friday, October 17, 2025!
DON’T TELL MAMA will be playing alongside an incredible lineup in the shorts block called Family Matters: “Intimate portraits of diverse generational families in moments of control, heartbreak, and memory.”

Tickets available now using link in our bio.
Chloe and I went to high school together and played in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She was Titania and I was Hermia. We slayed but tbh we were frenemies.
Daniel was my first friend in acting school. It was immediately clear we were creative soulmates. We played in many plays and also slayed. We keep each other going in this game.
Kids from NYC never truly leave home, so Chloe and I orbited around each other until one night, both 26 and freshly single, we toasted our freedom. By 3AM on a dance floor in Brooklyn, we realized we were creative soulmates.
This past March, worlds collided and Daniel, his love Mele, and I produced Chloe’s debut film with a brilliant cast and crew.
I read a lot of scripts and I think Chloe is one of the best young screenwriters we have right now. Even back in high school, everyone knew she was a freakishly talented writer.
We are so proud to share Don’t Tell Mama with the world. What on earth could be better than making movies with your best friends?
