NARRATIVE

WHAT'S NEXT FOR ME?

[Completed] Growing up, Millennials were  told that there was a formula for success--you get good grades, so you can go to college, get a good job, get married, buy a house, have kids, and live happily ever after. However, as we continue to go through our lives, we learn that it's not all black and white. We face anxiety, self-doubt, personal struggles, and our own definition of "success."

CANDY EGO

[Completed] This sci-fi noir comedy set in a city known for its biotech hubs, military zones, and techno-shamanistic cults. The plot centers around two temporary researchers and an ensemble cast of characters as they navigate the paranoid underpinnings of their sun-sparkled world. All is not quite as it seems, relationships are tested, and perverse humor unravels the city’s "No Bad Days" motto.​ For more information, visit the Kickstarter and Instagram page.
