Someone who decided to break into screenwriting in her 30s — a former reality TV PA and unpaid writer’s assistant — I made my short directorial debut with Delivery Driver at the 2025 New Haven 48 Hour Film Project, where it won Best Film. It competed internationally at Filmapalooza 2026 and was showcased in a Top 25 list out of 123 winners by the co-chair of the festival review panel.
