About C.
I love telling stories--through writing scripts, music, or visually with photos and film.
Please feel free to read through my scripts and give me notes--tons of notes (I actually really love them). I find notes to be the most helpful and motivating thing to me outside of table reads. Even if I disagree, it pushes me to be more convincing with what I prefer.
Although I look forward to the day when someone with a budget can bring one of my scripts to life, in the meantime, I'll do everything I can to keep creatively busy--whether that's making short films, creating music, taking photographs, or continuing to write.

One of the (absolute zero budget) short films I'm proud of is titled FORGE. Made during the height of the pandemic, a significant bit of the action was filmed on Zoom, but I think we kept it interesting! I wrote, directed, and composed the music for it.
Another pandemic project I'm proud of is a podcast channel (also zero budget) I helped produce (Pipe Dream Theatre) with my partner Liz Muller. While I like all the shows we've made so far, I think THREE GHOSTS, a musical version of A Christmas Carol with an entirely original script, and HANSEL & GRETEL, a raunchy, for-adults-only musical version of that story, are my current favorites. I wrote the script, music, and did the sound design for all the podcast shows.
And finally, a plug for my music. My latest solo album is called A VIEW FROM ELSEWHERE. I'm (strangely) very happy with it and enjoy listening to it myself! Yes, it's also very zero budget. There are various styles and moods, so hopefully (fingers crossed) there's something you might enjoy!
