About me: I've written, directed, edited, produced/co-produced several short films that have been screened in festivals.
My partner in filmmaking is my husband, Jeremy Ward, who has not only helped me produce my films, but has also done sound, composed and performed music, as well as gaffed, ADed, etc.
My films are: LIKE HIS FATHER, JIMMY'S HOUSE OF HUGS, SALLY'S DREAM HOUSE, EDDIE'S WINNING DATE, GO FAUX, I JUST WANT TO EAT MY SANDWICH and HAPPY AT HOME. All have been in festivals, or at least have upcoming festival acceptances. Four of these films have won awards.
