My screenplays attempt to represent the moral complexities of the LGBTQ+ experience through a combination of realism, allegory and jokes. I just want to see more films like these exist: Moonlight, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, The Birdcage, Nyad, Brokeback Mountain, Boy Erased, Boys Don't Cry, Beautiful Thing, Challengers.
My scripts so far are:
