I will actually be in attendance for this one, so this will be a rare opportunity to see me dressed up and in serious filmmaker mode :)

Sometimes it feels like nothing is happening in my screenwriting life, but... the short film I co-wrote and produced, Double Happiness, had its NYC premiere at Soho Int'l Film Festival yesterday! #filmsky #scriptsky

I said no, but then pivoted to my short film and upcoming festival screenings

Thanks!
