As an actress/director who is a true lover of the horror genre,
I have made it my mission to make horror movies with dynamic female characters. In this genre especially, there is a huge deficit of villainous female roles that have the staying power of Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees. I hope to fill that gap by making horror films that give women a bigger voice.
A lover of both campy and elevated horror, I try to blur the lines to create something that may seem absurd on paper, but executed with the emotional gravity of a serious drama. My debut film Frederika is a prime example of this aesthetic.
