I am a filmmaker passionate about bringing stories of young women to light. I bring to this project over seven years of experience as a writer, director, and producer with an international portfolio. For MARYELLEN AND THE BRIGHTEST STAR, I will collaborate with talented colleagues for a 3-day shoot in Los Angeles in September 2015. My background in indie film, TV, and web commercial production ensures that I will bring creativity and professionalism to this fun and inspiring short film.

Among other honors, the film was the Grand Prize winner of the 2013 Beijing International Screenwriting Competition and was the opening night film at the 2015 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival: https://vimeo.com/109509635 Viewing password: ******
