Happy to announce that my screenplay, Scarred received an Honorable Mention in the short film category of the Big Apple Film Festival. Grateful to have my work recognized by the @bigapplefilmfestival and with only appreciation and no negativity in their direction, it got me thinking…
Writing is something I love. Primarily a short story writer, the transition to screenwriting has been a challenging one for me, one that takes craft, skill, time, patience and passion. It makes me appreciate every screenwriter whose words, I’ve ever been blessed to embody.
What a gift to be able to write stories that take us on a journey, make someone feel seen, that educate, entertain, humble, honor, inspire, make us cry in empathy or laugh until our sides heart.
I think about all the writers whose words and stories got us through the dark days of the pandemic, were company on a lonely night, kept our kids entertained; the ones we want to watch over and over again because of how they made us feel.
In solidarity with the #WGA, my hope is writers’ value is understood, appreciated and compensated for their incredible and irreplaceable contribution.
Thank you to the Pasadena Film Festival for choosing Overdue as an Official Selection and the honor of a nomination for Best Actress in a Short Film and Best Director Melissa Skirboll!

Congratulations to the cast & crew of Sticks!!
So bummed to miss last night’s world premiere of the TV Pilot Sticks, written and produced by Joleene D. DesRosiers
Oh if I could be in two at places at once!!
I love this project so much. I loved playing Ricky… with all her faults, all her strengths, all the misguided steps she took, the secrets, the hopes she dared to dream.
We had an awesome cast and crew but mostly I’m so incredibly grateful for the beautiful friendships and artistic collaborations that came from or grew into something really special from this shoot.
