Her writing accolades include projects advancing in Sundance New Media Labs, Imagine Impact, Napa Valley FF, Cinestory, NYTVF, among others.

She currently works as a creative producer and head of development for former head of Paramount Adam Goodman's digital studio Invisible Narratives.

She developed and EP'd the HBO Max pilot “Camp Friends” based on her original idea. Follow The Makers on the socials!

Wigs, self-labels, parents, children, and awkward silences. It also ends with a song I found when going through old animations.

I used to do bonus episodes of the show somewhat regularly called "Field Guides" where I'd talk to people about the actual steps they took to create a project or about a specific topic around the theme of creating things for a living. Like, I talked to Abbi and Ilana about how they actually made the Broad City webseries (back before it was even a TV show!) - and the idea is to try and demystify making TV, videos and other creative things on a professional level. Today on the show I talk to Terence Gray, the founder and executive director of the New York Television Festival, and Ian Thake, the director of programming for the festival. Founded in 2005, The NYTVF is a pioneer of the independent television movement, connecting its community of artists with leading networks, studios, agencies, production companies, and brands. Terence, Ian and I get in deep about the origins of the festival, how somebody starts a festival in the first place, as well as thoughts and tips on indie TV and the television development process!
