Partnerships
I love working with people!
The first collaboration that set the bar was Greg Proops punching me right in the face in Before the Morning After for NBC. (He was amazing!)
I’ve tried to match that energy since.
Here are some of the current collaborations that I’ve got cooking….
It’s been quite the ride with SOTR!
We have two comedy projects together, one with Olivia attached as a character.
Mainly I’ve worked with Ed and Lina Stroud, developing the ideas and scripts (with Tristram Shapeero on one of the projects).

If you want to work with your favourite director, there’s only one thing you have to do. A little light, friendly stalking, obvs.
I followed him to the Cornish Film Festival, insisted he read my script (because I wanted him to direct it) and we’ve been working together ever since. Our ideas factory is called Tram Track.
I adore him, he is awesome. We have quite a few projects, including a comedy with Brooklyn 99/Community writer Carol Kolb and exec Jen Kelly attached.
We also have a US/Italian co-pro in development with producer Gina Lyons of Gobby Girls Productions fame.
We definitely didn’t meet in an organic way. I posted an old mini-noir film that I made 10 years ago (to get a job), and he just happened to see it on LinkedIn of all places. We got on like a house on fire.
We’re working on a few projects through his studio Sketch To Animate, including something with Adult Swim, and a book/animation package based on a story I wrote at 12 years old.
Travis is one of the most sound and joyful people I’ve ever met. He’s so…cool.

Comedy Action Director and ex-stuntwoman Jadey Duffield is an absolute wonder. Not only is she a lot of fun to work with, but she’s also hilarious and exceptionally talented.
Her films are kicking ass, and she just spent some with with Christopher McQuarrie on the set of Mission Impossible. She also has a partnership with Director Neil Marshall.
Jadey and I have a few things together, including a comedy about anxiety that has Doctor Who producer Jess Gardner attached.
