Vivian Dean is dead... And now she is hellbent on finding out who did it.
I am the luckiest gal in the world.
I got to produce a short, She Had It Coming, that I also wrote. I collaborated with more than a dozen simply superb creatives – actors, crew members, and the wonderful Gedde Watanabe – to bring to life the short story version of Vivian Dean. It was a dream come true.
We got into some film festivals and won a few awards for it, too!
