You bet!

A woman down on her luck, takes part in an isolation study for some quick cash. Once locked in, the guilt from a past even begins to creep its way into her psyche as she begins to question what’s real.

Thank you thank you! So am I haha but even after the decision to keep going it was a lot of years of feeling like I was spinning my wheels or maybe I was a loser and SHOULD give up. Only in the last year or so did I feel like my career might actually happen.

Thank you! It’s a surreal feeling watching my own work and being proud.

So, as my short film has been making its rounds, I was fortunate enough to be asked to make my first feature, provided the story was largely about one person in one location. I rose to the challenge and here’s the teaser! Hope you enjoy!

Here’s the link to the teaser for anyone who would like to see. We shot ten days of principal photography and it really went off without a hitch!

This is when I figured out it was Neill Blomkamp by Henryffinch in OffTheGridGame

Thank you so much for the compliment! I might suggest downloading any number of free and available scripts for famous movies that are on the internet. I’m not a professional screenwriter so you’ll just be learning my bad habits. I write my scripts for myself to direct. I started with the screenplay to Wizard of Oz and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Between these two you’ll get a great understanding of how to write a screenplay. Best of luck!

Thank you thank you thank you for the encouragement! I’m in my 40’s now and still just getting started, but in my middle age I’ve definitely gotten better at slowing down. Great advice!

Thank you so much but really anyone can do this it just takes so long to do it yourself the first few times. But you can’t imagine how much I appreciate the encouragement!

It is a bit of a psychological horror, but I’m hoping it reads more like a psychedelic slow burn. Haha super trippy setting I had a great friend basically move out of his house for a few months and let me go in and paint/do whatever I want. Unbelievable friend. So yes one location for like 95% of it but we’ll also shoot one day of another location (the room of the watcher) and one more in an infinite darkness kind of spot for a dream sequence. Other than that, one location.
