I've got a script, Honeymoon Adventurers, that's a Second Rounder this year! My debut feature film, Acid Test, premiered at AFF in 2021 adapted from my short that also screened at AFF in 2017. It's a coming-of-age rebellion story fueled by Riot Grrrl music, a dysfunctional family, and LSD. Set in 1992 and based on true events! It's now available to watch on various platforms - links and more info at www.acidtestfilm.com. I'm originally from DC but have been in Houston for 12 years. I went to USC for my MFA in Film Production and I make both documentary and scripted projects.
