Trapped

Three original tense 20 minute psychological duologues performed back-to-back by the same two actors, Trapped reveals worlds of scandal, suspicion and emotional confrontation as the lines between guilt and innocence, fantasy and reality all become blurred. When two people can no longer distinguish truth from deception, every confession becomes a possible lie, every denial a possible truth, and trust becomes the weapon with which they destroy each other. Trapped confronts our expectations, assumptions and experiences in a visceral way. You can read the pitch deck here and give directly to the project here.

Picture Perfect

The remarkable true story of Margaret Chute, who started her career as a struggling actor on the London stage, Picture Perfect is about a woman who reinvented herself in the 1920s to become Hollywood's first pioneering female freelance film journalist. The “indefatigable” Margaret gained an international reputation for both her trailblazing writing and stunning, candid photographs of the stars – only to be destroyed by the industry to which she dedicated her short life. Her legacy has been deleted from Hollywood history, because she spoke out against how young women were treated within the movie world – especially in 1935 with her explosive article. Now, Picture Perfect allows us to experience Margaret’s fascinating true story. You can read the pitch deck here and give directly to the project here.
