Writer Statement

My motto is "Be the change I want to see in the world". I create projects by, and for women & people of diversity - strong new characters, yet unseen. Newsraven is about an ace dame reporter investigating crime in the 1930s. She delves fearlessly hidden side of glamorous, vintage Hollywood, and how people lived and died in that city, rife with corruption in the tumultuous 1930s, especially from a woman's point of view is what I wanted to share with an audience. In the creation of Audrey Corbeau I've devised strong female protagonist, in a cinematic neo noir style, and I think viewers will really enjoy this female driven project and connect with Audrey's journey.
