And when I say “edit suite” I mean “zoom room.” But Editor Kevin Horkaew and I are making great progress! They say a movie is written three times: once by the screenwriter, once by the director, then in the editing room. It’s true, and I couldn’t ask for a better collaborator on this final draft of of my script/direction!
First Look at SEPTEMBER!
I’m beyond thrilled to share these still from September, featuring Frankie J. Álvarez and Gustavo Márquez! Director of Photography is the fabulous Easton Carter Angle. Edit and color grading are still to come, but with raw images like this, we’re all feeling pretty good!
New Article on Self-Producing (or Not) for The Playwrights Realm
As Content Producer for The Playwrights Realm’s Aspiring Playwrights Program I’m always asking myself “what do I wish I’d known when I was starting out…?” This article is one of those things!

I hope this article helps young artists with that same spirit and drive think through the ramifications, and other possibilities, when it comes to trying to put up your own work.

Here’s a look behind the scenes.
