WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Last week, my feature-length screenplay THE ONLY WAY OUT won Best Screenplay at the Women’s Film Festival in Nashville. It was a powerful reminder that the work is connecting. While the path to financing and distribution can be slow, this win reaffirmed why I keep going. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the journey, the lessons, and the resilience it takes to turn a script into a film.

She spoke with Marty (the day before he left for Malta) and Marty said he had worked with Angelina Jolie's manager in the past and would contact him when he got back from Malta. Stephanie also realized she had an additional phone number for Fortis Films, Sandra Bullock's production company, so she passed it along to Marty.

My goal was for us to come up with some actionable steps to move forward with THE ONLY WAY OUT and that conversation achieved the goal. It was a great call. We had the most amazing chat, got caught up on what's been going on in our personal lives, then dove into THE ONLY WAY OUT.

I got word the other day that Netflix passed on THE ONLY WAY OUT. This was quite the head scratcher for me, Marty, Stephanie, and Steve...

Every once in a while, from out of nowhere, an opportunity strikes to pitch your script. This is what happened to me with THE ONLY WAY OUT!

Since Steve Schklair was coming to Denver to shoot a 3-D concert video, he invited me to meet up with him for dinner.

As a self-proclaimed failure expert, I can tell you first-hand that failure is awful. It's demoralizing, scary, embarrassing...

The day after Steve and I spoke, Marty messaged me that he was sending the script to a friend at Netflix...

It's crazy to think that I had so much more time to write when the kids were home on summer break! How is that possible?
