Blessed is the key word to use in describing all the opportunities I’ve had in being able to share my work with so many people on stage and in an audience. Despite 2024 being a difficult year personally, as a writer, it’s been one of the most productive and worthwhile. It’s mind-blowing to know that my words have been able to be heard in NYC and in the Philippines. I guess one of the motivating goals is to find more opportunities to share these stories in more places around the country.
While the above wraps up 2024, I glad to have these to look forward too:
- Production of a play I’m co-producing in May 2025! Stay tuned for details!
- Excited to Close out a Commission and a Grant!
- Have about 3 full-lengths that’s been floating in my head that I’ve yet to start.
- WILL WRITE the first draft of a TV Pilot Screenplay that is in the hopper
- Will co-produce and co-direct my first own short film!
Let’s go 2025!
