Screenwriting Samples

My passion for children's media has inspired a lot of my work. My heart lies with crafting nuanced characters and finding intelligent ways to teach young audiences about meaningful issues. Below are some recent works. Enjoy!

Reap & Sow

Reap & Sow is an animated romcom that follows Grim, a local Reaper at New Hollow’s Abstractions, who goes about his quiet half-life while trying to stay out of the way of the other New Hollow residents. But when he is tasked with assisting Spring, a green-thumbed goddess, to herald New Hollow’s vernal equinox, Grim’s quiet vanishes, and something scarier blooms in its place. Can Grim and Spring learn to navigate their wildly different roles together, or will those very roles keep them apart? As they clash over life, death, and everything in between, sparks fly, and an unexpected romance blossoms—proving that even in the most unlikely places, love can grow.

Testing Positive (Pilot)

When disgraced sex researcher Dr. Mack takes a job at Harden University—his hometown’s tiny, underfunded safety school and his personal rock bottom—he’s stuck leading a research lab full of oversexed psych students. But when a mysterious STI explodes across campus like a new-age plague, Mack sees his shot at redemption. Can his chaotic team of research assistants contain the epidemic (and their own romantic disasters) before the administration shuts them down for good? Testing Positive is Sex Education meets Community—a 30-minute comedy about academia, ambition, and lube.

The Golden Arches

When McDonald's happy meals are just out of reach for 9-year-old best friends, Mario and Reggie, the pair turn an ordinary afternoon into the adventure of a lifetime—because no one stands between them and a McFlurry. Armed with oversized imaginations and unstoppable determination, their quest transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this animated comedy, when it comes to the Golden Arches, no obstacle is too big, no idea too ridiculous, and no chihuahua too terrifying.

Pas de Deux

In this short film rom-com, opposites attract. That's always been the case for stiff and methodical Willard and his girlfriend EG, a passionate dancer who moves to the beat of her own heart. It's never been a problem until EG asks Willard to try swing dancing with her. Determined to prove his love, he embarks on a crash course in dance, stumbling through missteps, mishaps, and moments of magic. As he learns to loosen up, Williard discovers that love, like dance, isn’t about perfection but finding your own rhythm.
