In 2019, JP created ‘The Representation Hour’ for Triple Bi-Pass on JOYFM Melbourne, exploring queer representation in pop culture. Her stageplays A Scandal in the Weimar and That Time Everything Went Well And We Were Totally Fine are published via Australian Plays and her short films, Facing the Future, At Home with Anne Zieté, skate. and Breakfast Tea – all created in isolation during Melbourne lockdown – have enjoyed official selection at various film festivals.
During the first year of a Master of Screen Studies at WA Screen Academy, JP created the short drama 'Fine Bone China' and short documentary 'The Golden Rollers' - both well received by audiences and industry.
This year, JP's academic writing will feature in a new text, Queering the Vampire Narrative, published by Brill | Sense.
