Nine years ago I sat down to write a film script about women, our dreams and nightmares. It became three books, and then three audio-books, and now at last book one, It's a Nightmare, is a script. It's a cinematic story, a new world built on our own, that lends itself well to the visual medium.
I love this journey with Mina. She's hard and feisty, she does what it takes to make her dreams come true in an action adventure story with a female of color in the lead, without a gun! Many lessons have been learned and earned along this path. Mostly about honoring my own dreams and purging my nightmares
The script is a semi-finalist in the Series Fest/Rose McGowan Featuring Women Initiative
Script Competition
and a quarter finalist in the Screen Craft China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship
It's a Nightmare is entered in a few other film/media competitions in the hope of bringing Mina to the attention of potential partners. May this cautionary tale spread its roots into deep rich healthy loam.
Being the weird girl is never easy, but in a dystopian future where women are licensed as domestic pets, it's a nightmare. Mina is a magical foundling raised by sage off-gridders who teach her to feign compliance. But talent will out, and Mina’s dreams threaten the Night Mare’s rule. Discover the trilogy today!
