I am thrilled that my first feature script, Missed Connections, placed as a Second Rounder at the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition. This distinction places the script among the top 20% of submissions.
The feature script Missed Connections is a
semi-finalist for the Athena Film Festival Writers Lab! It’s truly an honor to be recognized by such an incredible program that uplifts women’s voices in film.
Check out Hooky, now featured as a screenplay online at Torch Friday Feature.!
This is the full version of the script, including scenes that were cut from the film due to budget constraints. I am honored to receive this recognition from Torch Literary Arts and thrilled to share my vision for Hooky as it was originally intended.
WPBT (Channel 2)
Hooky will air on PBS. It will air in South Florida first (dates below) then nationally at a later date (TBA).
