Synopsis/Details
What do a handful of millennial hotties, a group of fantasy obsessed geeks, a couple of newlyweds, and a man trying hard to appease his pregnant wife, rebellious teenage step-children and irreverent, wheelchair-bound mother, all have in common? They all choose the wrong weekend to go camping. An isolated campground on a picturesque stretch of beach should be the location of an ideal weekend for each of them. It's an Instagram worthy place for bikini selfies, a wild landscape for the ultimate cosplay, a romantic escape from prying eyes, and a chance for forced family bonding by the campfire... until it gets invaded by aliens. The first appearance of a beautiful rainbow cloud of light seems like a good omen, but it's not long before the microscopic beings within it prove capable of flying into people's brains, sucking their adrenal glands dry, and leaving them completely catatonic. Escape would be the best option, if the aliens hadn't also gummed up every engine, dried up every battery, and left them with no means to leave or even call for help. As continued attacks prove that the shimmery cloud of aliens likes to isolate its victims before zombifying them, it becomes clear that this disparate collection of campers must watch out for each other, and play to their eccentric mix of strengths, in order to survive the hive.

Having lived and worked in Los Angeles, New York and Sydney, my twenty years of experience spans several roles in filmmaking and the arts. A background in production design has helped me to hone a uniquely visual voice, which conveys a tangible sense of place, inviting readers into the story world.

I have also directed four short films and am working toward directing my first feature. I've been lucky enough to earn a few laurels along the way, and hope to earn more in the future.
