15 JUN. 2023 · Aisha is running from The Woman In The Blue Hijab. What will happen if they reach the water's edge?
Winner, Tribeca Festival 2023 Independent Audio Fiction
Director's Statement: "I am a Jewish American. Every Passover I am unfortunately compelled to think about the genocide that the government of Israel is committing against the Palestinian people. My religious ancestors were forced to go through tough times and were oppressed because of who they were and what they believed. It breaks my heart that now, today, a government made up of people who identify as Jewish are somehow not learning from and embracing the lessons of Passover, but are instead, unfortunately, themselves oppressing and attacking and dehumanizing. Things seem to be accelerating and getting worse.
I can safely say as a proud Jew that what the Israeli government is doing goes against my moral and religious values.
I strongly believe that art and storytelling are profoundly powerful and important tools in the effort to start to bring understanding, empathy, and hopefully peace to Palestine and Israel."
Series Description: Aisha, a Palestinian girl in Gaza City, longs for freedom and safety - without having to give up her cultural and religious identity to the Israeli-American aid worker that wishes to "save" her. Deep below the surface, in a smuggling tunnel, a new Underground Railroad, she dreams of another path, another way.
This piece could either be standalone or the first in a series. If it were to be a series, it would follow Aisha and her family as they navigate the cultural genocide and human rights violations currently being inflicted on the Palestinian people. They are working on a smuggling tunnel both to get desperately needed basic supplies into Gaza, and to help some families and children leave Gaza - without having to give up their culture and faith. Told via a series of narrated dreams interspersed with non-narrated verite scenes, after the tunnel is collapsed by the IDF, who claim that the tunnel is being used by "terrorists", Aisha's family is trapped and she is forced out to the surface and into a mad dash for her life. Aisha's desire for freedom manifests itself in the literal ability to levitate. She uses her newfound powers to escape, and returns with a vision to help stop the ethnic cleansing and hopefully set Palestine on a course for eventual self-determination and peace.

15 ABR. 2023 · When a technocratic society living underground employs eugenics to ensure humanity’s survival on a devastated Earth, a biologist and a software engineer have only one hope of raising a child of their own: upload their fetus to a computer simulation.
Series Description: The Ark is a 10-part scripted audio series about a family formed in the wake of a global calamity, and how their only hope of sticking together lies in a total reconception of their world (figuratively, and literally). It’s a dark, viscerous hard-scifi about grief, hope, parenthood, and survival, and balances theological undertones and solarpunk discourse within the tragic, funny, loving, and brutal moments of family drama.
Nora and Rafael live in a Shelter, one of many underground refugee cities formed in the wake of a global cataclysm that rendered the Earth’s surface uninhabitable, and obliterated all natural life upon it. This scientist duo have tasked themselves with preserving the memory of that nature through an elaborate computer wildlife simulation. They are also expectant parents, and have just received a dire prognosis: the Shelter’s authorities have denied them the right to bring their pregnancy to term, or to ever have another child again.
With their marriage tearing at the seams, they must choose whether to comply and abort the pregnancy to protect their simulation, or risk everything to have their child in secret, that is until an outlandish compromise sets them on a path towards parenthood neither of them are ready for.
Over the course of the season, we follow the couple as they navigate raising a digital child from toddler to teenhood. Nora will struggle to reconcile between her grief, identity as a mother, and idea of what makes a human. Her reluctance to parent her child, named “Han”, leaves Rafael to play single-father while navigating a prickly reacquaintance with his sister Alison, who’s genius skill with computers made Han’s transfer from physical body to digital bytes a reality. Alison has obliged Rafael to return her favor by licensing their simulation to her military employers, a Faustian bargain, but the only way to ensure the processing power to keep his child alive.
We’ll follow Han (they/them) at different stages of childhood and adolescence, navigating latchkey detachment from their parents’ chronic absences, curiosity and danger when Rafael forbids them from exploring ecosystems throughout the sim, and their own ontology as the sole “digital person” in existence. Their world is thrown open when, in the sim, they find a backdoor to the internet, and learn the truth of what happened to the Earth outside. And when Nora admits she cannot accept Han as a real person, Han will find a surrogate mother in Gale Fellows, a kooky, middle-aged web personality who turns out to be the leader of a dangerous doomsday cult preaching the “ascension” of all humanity into the metaverse.

11 ABR. 2023 · Sophie is the best dang babysitter in Hatfield, New York. Tonight seems like it's going to be a breeze. But there's something different about little Leo Brown…
Series Description: Little kids have been disappearing all over the country. The only thing linking the cases to each other is that all of the kids were watching a popular cartoon show called Dimo Duck when they disappeared.
We’ll meet journalism student Lori Lane, who is trying to prove herself at an internship with an online news outlet -- and who seems to be the only one who has connected the dots. Her bosses have shot down her Dimo Duck investigation (“QUACK QUACK QUACK”), calling it a crazy conspiracy theory. And then, one of her little sister’s babysitting charges goes missing while watching the show.
When Lori goes to talk to her sister, Sophie, something is clearly wrong -- she seems like she’s hiding something. Dimo has said to Sophie: Your sister’s coming, lie to her, and if you don’t, I’ll take another one of your kids. Sophie tells Lori to check teacher Anne Pumphrey.
Anne has been on the case longer than Lori, and she shares some valuable information: kids Sophie’s age have started receiving blackmail App messages from someone claiming to be Dimo Duck himself -- a very warped, terrifying version of Dimo. Anne suspects that her students are at risk as well.
Lori rushes to warn her sister -- but she’s too late. Sophie has disappeared.
Over the first season, we’ll follow Lori as she tries to rescue her sister and build toward a terrifying finale -- Lori’s showdown with... TWIST... Dimo Duck himself. Instead of a human, Dimo is a supernatural being, spawned by the internet, collecting children to his “flock.” Lori sees her sister, but can’t save her -- and watches her follow Dimo into the abyss.
Ultimately, Dimo will lose, but not without a body count. And we will learn something about ourselves, society, and the internet.
