After a few years navigating the COVID pandemic and its disheartening impacts, I’ve returned to my creativity with a fresh mind. I’m making peace with the summer heat with ice cold drinks and a calm pace to revisiting a few projects. I’m excited to share more when the time comes!
Entering the Narrative Field
I brought in the new year with a table read of a script written over the holidays. The script will become a short horror film about two young Latinas facing a terrifying proposition during their last day in a religious cult. Stay tuned for more details about this project coming later this year.
