Death’s Door (short film)

Death’s Door is a dramedic coming-of-age story with a supernatural twist—it’s about an introverted non-binary teen named Kaylee whose oldest friend is Death. When a classmate dies, Kaylee learns how to find places between emotions, and even worlds.

I wrote and directed this short film with my creative partner Ben Edwards. It’s currently in post-production. Stay tuned!

The film is supported by a grant through the Regional Arts and Culture Council and by Women in Film—Portland’s Educate/Incubate program.


All That Name Implies

I wrote, cast, and directed this historical audio fiction piece, starring Hennessy Winkler (Sweeney Todd on Broadway) and Ellen Winter (36 Questions) and produced by Paulus van Horne (Love + Radio, Marvel’s Wolverine), with post-production by Mumble Media.

All That Name Implies reimagines the life of Joseph Israel Lobdell, a trans man living in the 1800s, through the lens of his relationship with his wife Marie Perry. Through a series of vignettes, we experience Joe's past, present, and future, crossing state lines, gender binaries, and even the limitations of space and time.


GMS Comcast RISE Commercial

I co-directed a commercial for GMS Media and Advertising starring GMS owner Geff Zamor to air on Comcast channels as part of the company’s RISE grant award.
