AUGUST ISSUE |

 Hi...
I have been traveling for most of July and now am in LA for a bunch of meetings. Although I miss NY, it is nice to be on the west coast for a while. Even when I am working, it feels like I am on vacation. I hope everyone is having a spectacular summer. Meanwhile, enjoy the update!

Unicorns
|
|
 Currently in development, Even Unicorns Need to Breathe is a brutally honest portrayal of teen dating violence, offset by humor that is as touching as it is dark.
- The Unicorns screenplay has made it into the final round of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab!

Eternal Flame release
|
|
 Welcome to a world where mermaids dance with octopi, fire breathers rule the night, and the Statue of Liberty knows how to sing. Girls are buried up to their necks in sand while boys do back flips and dazzle dancers perform a puppet show without strings. A circus-themed beach-burlesque music video for Joan as Policewoman, Eternal Flame is the ultimate fire hazard.

Distribution
|
|
 Twitch is currently airing on IFC, Team Queen is on LOGO and Eternal Flame is on MTV Europe. Several new distribution deals are now in the works:
- Twitch and Team Queen are featured new releases on B-Side. This is an exciting new distribution platform as well as a great resource for filmmakers. Check it out!
