CURIO IS THE WINNER OF BEST EPISODIC screenplay AT LEGENDARY FEST 2026
If you were there at the award ceremony and you’re worried you’re going crazy – don’t fret. You didn’t hear my name that night. There was an error with the announcement on the day, but it was caught and it turns out CURIO IS THE WINNER! I was already feeling so grateful for the nomination…
MAKING A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO HORRORIGINS 2026
I’ve been crowing about it on social media, but I totally forgot to announce here that I will once again be heading to Tucson for HorrOrigins to represent my pilot The Threshold, plus this year I also have three (yes three!!) projects that were officially selected for its sister event, Legendary Fest. HorrOrigins 2025 was…
Wrap Me In Shadows WINS Best Feature Screenplay at Dunwich Horror FEst
Woohoo! Another script was an official selection for this monthly festival in the past, but my gory, sensual tale of temptation and risky behavior WON best feature screenplay for July. The script hasn’t changed much since I finished it, but I have a pitch deck now, and I’ve developed a one-sheet for a sequel, WASTE…
‘ONCE bitten’ is an official selection at Imaginarium film festival
The Mr and I will be heading off to Louisville in a couple weeks for my first trip to the Imaginarium Film Festival. I’ve never been to Kentucky before, so there’s lots of firsts to go around, but this isn’t the first time Once Bitten caught the eye of a festival. It was also an…

My Spec of The Last of Us is an Austin Second Rounder!
There aren’t a lot of opportunities out there for submitting specs of existing shows, but the Austin Film Festival is a noted exception. And hey, it paid off! My script was in the top 20% of submissions in its category, so I must have gotten at least some of it right.
Wrap Me In Shadows – My Newest Feature Script Sojourns into Greek Mythology
One thing interviewers looooooove to ask creatives is “where do you get your ideas?” The answers vary, of course, and I will be the first to admit I often get inspired while watching or reading other great stories. Now I’m not saying I go around ripping people off, but I can’t seem to stop myself…
I’m Blogging for the London Screenwriters Festival Website!
My first three posts are already live, and the LSF Replay sessions are still going strong.
Right Eyes at the Right Moment? Or is it all about Genre?
Early on, I submitted to a lot competitions and kept track of the results – crunching the numbers to figure out which of my scripts was the “best”. And although I loved my second pilot, Riftmaker, other scripts clearly were performing better. I stopped submitting it and moved on to new ideas. Nowadays, I’m not…
One Writer’s Adventure with Spec-ing an Existing Show
I realized recently that I’ve done this whole screenwriting thing really backwards compared to a lot of people. I’ve never attended any film school or classes outside of a couple of workshops, so I haven’t made the logical progressions of short to long, or imitation before striking out on my own.
