Fwd: April 7 | "Silent Partner" at Busboys and Poets (450 K St NW)

[Galvanize DC]

Galvanize family, I am very excited to share with you that my first feature film, as a screenwriter, is coming to DC in a couple of weeks... sort of. There will be a sneak peek as a part of a larger evening that includes a panel discussion.

This is a fundraiser as they are finalizing post-production on this project.

I spent a lot of time co-writing this film with Roderick (lead and producer, based in NYC) and Eric Branco (based in L.A.), in 2023. It was filmed in early 2024, in the NYC area. The film has many recognizable faces from film, tv, and Broadway, and the story speaks to our current political climate.

I hope you'll join the fundraiser on April 7. I am rushing over after class and hope to be there for the latter part of the evening.

Please spread the word. Seats are limited.
