From the Midwest, I write grounded, character-driven stories with heart that portray complicated family dynamics—mostly drama and comedy. My scripts find the emotional story, exploring themes of loss, atonement, estrangement and regret along with love, hope, forgiveness and new beginnings. All of my scripts have Midwest flavor, but locations are flexible.
Check out my loglines. If you're a member of Script Revolution or NetworkISA, I have the following scripts posted on those platforms, along with a full synopsis for each script. (Character breakdowns are available upon request.) My scripts can also be found on Coverfly. (Links below)
• PARALLEL PROPOSALS — a fun comedy/dramedy feature set in Chicago, IL. It was named an AFF Second Rounder and was also a Stage 32 "Double Recommend."
• TEAM EMMA — an emotional drama feature set in Madison, WI. It was named an AFF Second Rounder.
• SERENDIPITOUS ANNIE — a rom-com feature mostly set in New York City. (The female love interest is from Iowa.)
• ECHOES OF BROKEN PROMISES — a drama short set in Minneapolis, MN
• THE CHRISTMAS COACH — a holiday romance feature set in Chicago, IL, co-written with David Congalton. David's screenplay "Authors Anonymous" became the 2014 comedy starring Kaley Cuoco, Dennis Farina and Chris Klein.
If you're interested in one but it needs a few tweaks to suit your needs, I'm open to that. A script is a collaborative process; let's talk! I'm also completely open to feedback/constructive criticism. In fact, I welcome it since I'm regularly polishing my scripts as inspiration strikes.
I find fulfillment in being part of an artistic team. Organized and detail-oriented with a flexible schedule, I’m “free to fly” and love to travel. A team player who's always up for an adventure, I was the Script Supervisor for a short film and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. (The director and I connected on Stage 32 and met in person for the first time on the first day of the shoot; networking works!)
I look forward to connecting with other Stage 32 members! A Communication Studies graduate of The University of Iowa, I’ve been described as a person who can talk to anyone. Really! Don’t be shy…
