As a screenwriter, Macee is known for developing edgy, boundary-defying narratives driven by distinctive female protagonists.

Macee recently completed her latest screenplay, The Pyramid Scheme—a daring, female ensemble revenge flick co-written with Fernanda Chaves. This gripping psychological thriller blends dark humor with horror to deliver a sharp critique of misogyny. The script has already been well received and was recently named a Semifinalist in InkTip's 2025 Pitch to Page Feature Screenwriting Contest.
