a look at a few past stories and characters I loved playing

self tapes
Ash
heavy, melancholic drama
[LOGLINE] – A woman returns home for the funeral of a friend who’s committed suicide
[LEAD]
At a lonely crossroads in life, Ash has developed tough skin after her dreams of becoming a writer fall through and she avoids vulnerability in an effort to protect herself.
When tragedy brings Ash back to her hometown, she reconnects with her past and is forced to face the role she played in her friend’s death, as well as her fearful avoidance of love.
Corey
fun-loving sci-fi fantasy
[LOGLINE]
A reimagining of the successful
Witch Mountain franchise
[LEAD]
An outsider with tattoos, LGBTQ+, Corey is 17 but comes across as 20s. She’s one step away from expulsion and puts more care into looking like a My Chemical Romance song that became an anime fan. Corey works at the local diner alongside her best friend, Ben, and is in his circle of trust but doesn’t appreciate it when Ben tries to act as her protector.
Ashley
thoughtful, romantic indie
[LOGLINE] – An aspiring poet encounters his dream girl on the subway, and together they embark on an unexpected romantic journey to steal poetry from the NYPD
[LEAD]
On the surface, Miles sees Ash as his dream girl — but underneath her beauty and edge, she’s a sensitive, complex, intelligent, anxious, precocious, tornado, who genuinely feels bad about the emotional wreckage she leaves in her wake.
Pamela
witty, queer dramedy
[LOGLINE] – Refusing law school to pursue art,
a college grad finds her purpose while living in Denver during the Summer of Violence in 1993
[STRONG SUPPORTING]
Spitfire. Daughter of immigrants, fearless, and inspires her best friend Naomi, to take chances. A “lipstick lesbian,” she’s constantly spurning the advances of men while pining after women she’s afraid to open up to. She’s been in the closet with her family, but in Denver she’s able to be out, loud and free through her art.
