INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: Bad Apples is an independent piece I wrote for a potential short film I want to make. Inspired by Sappho, the great greek poet, and my love for dark academia aesthetics. I wanted to write a lesbian love story that wasn’t rooted in sadness, since so many of them end in death or hatred. This is a love letter to unspoken romance, classical literature and sapphic poetry.

DESCRIPTION: A fraction of a larger concept, Pirates, is the story of a young woman who is killed on a pirate ship for disguising herself as a man. For this piece I asked what happened to those women? What happened to the men that killed them?

DESCRIPTION: An award winning piece at Campus Movie Fest, this story follows a young girl as she goes to get her fortune read and what follows after. Modeled after the style of a video game narrative, I wanted the story to be ominous and full of holes that you would further go to discover outside in the game. This was meant to be a story mode portion of a game, giving you a little information about a larger puzzle.

DESCRIPTION: The script for my Narrative Production. This follows the story of Prudence Gray, a stagehand, as she navigates the world around her. Treated cruelly and rejected by society for her looks, she is a product of silent rage and pleading religion. After her friendship with the new Prima forms, things seem to be looking well for her.

TITLE: ALICE
SOFTWARE: Studiobinder
LENGTH: 48 pages
CLASS: FMX 240 Screenwriting Fundamentals
PROFESSOR: Taylor Curry
SEMESTER / TERM: FA 22
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: This is my most passionate piece of writing I’ve ever made. It follows the story of a girl named Alice who after an overdose, spends her small amount of time between herself and the afterlife to come to terms with the way she lived her life, treated those she loved, and be at peace with it. A love letter and therapeutic write, I used my favorite characters from a book sacred to the relationship between my mother and I, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I brought these characters into a world I also know well, the world of an addict. As someone who has had several in their family and has fallen victim one too many times to the cycle of chaos they bring, I wanted to write a portrayal of an addict I felt was true to my own story. Addicts aren’t always good people who fell victim, sometimes they’re horrible and they’re horrible to you. They take more than they will ever give and they don’t always get better. That isn’t me being a pessimist, that’s just the way it goes. And that’s the way it goes for Alice.
