As a comedian I am always trying to "kill" people. As a screenwriter... I can kill them AND solve the murder!
Delighted to share I am a Quarter finalist for the @shorescripts Script to Screen competition!!! 🥰💫 Some people may say "calm down dear" but this is the first professional endorsement I've got, which indicates that I am capable of writing television people will want to watch. So please forgive me as I dance awkwardly in my living room! 🥳
Thank you to all the people who read my terrible scripts and give me notes because it means that someone eventually gets a good one 🤣😃

Connecting with the winners and finalists of the 2025 @shorescripts Feature Screenplay Contest today was such a delight!
I love creating space for emerging screenwriters to ask questions about the business side of screenwriting, and provide opportunities for them to build community and connect with one another.
There’s nothing better than learning more about fellow creatives and their journeys. These writers are the real deal - keep an eye on them! I know you’ll be seeing their work on the big screen soon.
