Immaculate
Co-Producer
Cecilia, a woman of devout faith, is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent. Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is soon interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.
I Don't Understand You
Executive Producer
An American couple, on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation — an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. On the way to dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over.
The Starling Girl
Co-Producer
Seventeen-year-old Jem Starling struggles to define her place within her strict Christian community in rural Kentucky. Even her greatest joy – the church dance group – is tempered by worry that her love of dance is actually sinful, and she’s caught between a newfound awareness of her own sexuality and an instinctive resistance to her mom’s insistence that the time has come to begin courting. She finds respite in the encouragement of her youth pastor Owen, who is likewise drawn to the blossoming Jem’s attention.
Resurrection
Co-Producer
A woman’s carefully constructed life is upended when an unwelcome shadow from her past returns, forcing her to confront the monster she’s evaded for two decades.
Krista
Producer
In a high school theater class, Krista uses her scene study as catharsis.
