This is a student project from UC Davis. This project is a short film, and the screenplay of this film is less than 5 pages (and the film should be less than 5 minutes). This is a story that happens around the 2010s when TikTok and other short-video apps just got popular. This project involves the discussion on contemporary entertainment (TikTok, YouTube, and so on), Singer’s dream, and the industry. According to the screenplay, there are 2 key casts and a few extras. Sticking to the settings, we hope 2 key casts can be around 20 years old.

• Job: Feature

The remake of an episode of the classic animated version of Spider-Man featuring The Black Cat's first major appearance, in the animated series in the classic 1990's show. I am playing the role of Felicia Hardy/The Black Cat and this short film requires a fully-clothed kiss on the lips and a slightly sexual battle sequence. My rating is: PG-13/TV-14. The actor playing Peter Parker (Tom Holland-style) must be fully-vaccinated (not including booster) with proof of vaccination and be ready to rehearse via Zoom. Shooting the student film will be in June 2022. 

Felicia Hardy aka The Black Cat, is a beautiful, chocolaty brown-eyed (in this version), Marvel creation, interpreted by me, she is a skilled burglar and jewel-thief. She is almost caught by the Police Department of New York, but her curiosity about Spider-Man/Peter Parker saves her, sealing their unique partnership with a kiss on the lips. Peter being solely known as Spider-Man now, is left to catch The Black Cat "if he can". It is a cliffhanger, short, student film with a running time no longer than 7 minutes. 

   In this version, Peter is more enamored with Felicia than in the first few moments of their first meeting, and Felicia's hair remains platinum blonde throughout with chocolaty brown eyes. It is implied Peter is crushing on The Black Cat and suspects she's secretly his college study-buddy/friend Felicia Hardy, from their first interactions.

A Musical Documentary following the making of a musical for off-Broadway. We'll be following the cast and crew through the whole process. Actors cast in the lead roles will be participating in the behind the scenes of the making of the musical as well as the staged musical itself should it come to fruition. Think project greenlight from HBO but focused on a staged musical production.

Our musical itself follows the story of a family that fights back against a super villain intent on world domination.

• Job: Feature

This is the premiere production of an original musical, with book, music, and lyrics by a local playwright/composer right here in Citrus Heights! This is a community not for profit theatre therefore all roles are volunteer and unpaid.

The story is set a few weeks before a presidential election, with members of the press desperate to find some hint of a scandal, as there is little happening in the way of political intrigue or backstabbing. Hard to imagine these days, right? But don’t worry… things won’t stay that way for long. The inept vice-president’s conniving wife will (and does) try any kind of dirty trick to elevate her clueless husband to the presidency (God help us!). There is the unlikely revival of a youthful romance between two of the candidates (with the equally unlikely names “Joel Strange” and “Suzanne Fellows”). Even a “birther” controversy. And of course (spoiler alert!) a happy, romantic, and patriotic resolution to the story, with lots of great music and silliness along the way!
