Tyra & Piper – Animated Short Film
Currently in production to be released 2025.
Roles: Writer, Director, Producer, Editor
"Tyra & Piper" is a six minute, 2D, animated short film about two lesbian dinosaurs in love at the end of the world, that I started working on in early 2022. Having already recorded and edited the audio, we are now in animation production. I am collaborating with dear friend Adam Dudley-Mallick for the animation, and we are animating the entire film old school traditional style by drawing and coloring each frame, by hand, frame by frame. This is my first venture into the animated medium, and I can't wait until it's out!​

"I Put the Bi in Bitter" is a coming of age gay comedy webseries that I created, wrote, and directed, and I am proud to have hired a majority women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ cast and crew. Over the course of two years, my team and I wrote, produced, and released 26 short episodes narratively spanning across three seasons. The series has since won awards and screened at festivals across the country, gained distribution on Tello Films' platform, and we have used the series to hold various community events and conversations relating to representation in film and support of the LGBTQ community.
