About me:
Current film project: Suzy Creamcheese, What's Become of You?
Based on a true story, Nancy, a naive but fearless farm girl escapes her repressive upbringing to become Simone, the first all-nude dancer and a belle of the 60s Sunset Strip. Simone fights for survival against debilitating demons and the shattering of ideals as the peace and love decade implodes, leaving a life in ruin and tenuous prospects for the spiritual long journey home.
