Fallen Angel, Black List 8, and a new teaser

A milestone I wanted to share. My pilot Fallen Angel just came back from the Black List at an 8, and I finally cut a teaser for it. It is a grounded AI thriller, and the tech is my day job. I was Chief Architect of Data and AI at Microsoft and I advise the DoD on AI and autonomous systems, so I trie...

Bobby G, I’m in for a swap. Fresh eyes is exactly how we level up.

I write grounded thrillers with 80% real locations, time stretched, no music. My rule: every scene must cost the character something....

The Collar (Côte d'Ivoire, 1980) – Seeking International Co-Producers and Financing Partners

I am currently developing and financing my short film "The Collar", a drama set in 1980s Côte d'Ivoire.

Côte d'Ivoire, 1980.

After speaking her mother tongue at school, an 8-year-old girl is forced to wear the "collar of shame," a humiliating punishment used to suppress local...

Samuel Codjovi

Thank you so much, Lourdes Trammell. Your background is incredibly relevant to The Collar. The film is inspired by historical practices that discouraged children from speaking their mother tongues in...

Evildoers

When separate searches for missing family collide, a young archaeologist and a disgraced journalist uncover a hidden war over the bloodline of Christ and realize they were designed into the system hunting them.

SuperGirl

I had a blast for three weeks on the set of SuperGirl.

Make up at 3.30am every week day.

10 hours or so on set.

Took an hour every night to remove make up.

All worth it to see the creation on the big screen.

Here I am in the background behind Milly Alcock.

Hey David, this is Suzanne from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Acting to Your Stage, as it fits much better there. The discpline lounges are for discussions on the craft or business. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!
