What I’m producing
Good Pain Podcast
A podcast about kinky sex, confronting your fears, and the power of letting go.
Tony and Chiara are two outsiders sifting through the corners of pain and the relief and acceptance the BDSM world brings. Each week they interview a professional Domme or someone from the BDSM community: hear stories, ask questions, and wade into important conversations--all while testing their own limits/ and confronting their assumptions about kinky sex, power- dynamics, and the patriarchy.
The Decision
The Decision is a whimsical riff on the health class video we never knew we needed: how women in their mid-thirties are to make one of life’s greatest decisions – the decision of bearing new life. As Hannah, an aging millennial with a phobia of decision-making, wanders through the park, she is ambushed by her fertility fairy godmother, Mellifluous, who, personified by the camera lens and aided by old-school animation, has come to remind her that time is running out. An often overlooked aspect of the larger reproductive rights conversation is just how FRAUGHT the decision to reproduce can be, particularly for a generation of women navigating their child-bearing years in such a dizzying news cycle. In this climate (pun intended), is the decision to bring a child into the world wildly irresponsible or radically hopeful?

Morgan Thomas, the Rector of All Souls Episcopal Church, has a strong reputation. But for quite some time he’s been slowly coming to grips with one terrible secret that makes him an absolute fraud: he no longer believes in God.
In the pilot season of of this dark new series—six episodes at 6-7 minutes each—Morgan begins to unravel under the intense pressure of living an outright, public lie.
The Corps
The Corps is a political comedy web series. The series was created by Tijuana Ricks and Tony Manna as a direct reaction to the events leading up to the 2020 election. It’s kind of like if Veep and The Office had a baby on the floor of The White House Press Room.
Urban Word NYC Poet Portraits
Young people have always been a paragon of change. We are living through one of America’s most dynamic, roiling, and profound eras: demographics are shifting; identities are expanding, contracting, and being created.
These young poets (from Urban Word NYC) reach through the turbulence and share a fresh perspective. Much can be learned, understood, and inspired by these truths. And we are here to listen.
The Casualty Process: Violet Machine
The Casualty Process is an Iranian electronic band. Their music is filled with aggressive noises, meaty bass and guitars, and industrial beats with electro and rock influences.
And, Apart
“Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.”
-Anne Roiphe
This immersive transmedia film project evolves with viewer interaction, navigating the complex relationships we have with loss - of objects, of people, of place, of self, of stability, of love - and our equally varied coping mechanisms. Featuring the stark beauty of the Pacific Northwest, an entirely original score, and sometimes wrapping painful truth in comedic relief, And, Apart forges a whole and complex universe.
