TITANIA - Set in the mid-20th century, TITANIA is a psychological mystery told through magic realism. A tale of healing and liberation, of being able to turn away from the “dark wood” and move on from tragedy. Inspired by both the fairytale of the “Handless Maiden” and Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, Titania escapes to an unfamiliar town with deep wounds on her back. As she begins her journey toward healing, she discovers the unexpected truth behind the townspeople, and comes to realize she will have a complicated price to pay to become whole again.

PRODIGALS’ ROAD - Set on a farm in 1960, a widower is coerced into sheltering a mysterious, injured woman whose misfortune spreads to his land. When his crops begin to die, he comes to believe he is somehow being punished for helping her. As he gets set to evict her, one of the mythological Fates intervenes to show the mystical connection between his land and the woman. From there he must decide whether to risk his farm and everything he has to save another. “Prodigals’ Road” runs parallel to the larger story of TITANIA.

Chapter Two is in production through 2025.
