Hi, I’m Annie.
I write character-driven stories grounded in reality that explore themes of personal reinvention, resilience, and redemption.
My work blends emotional depth with humor and wit to showcase characters who learn to accept themselves and discover possibility in unexpected places.
I’ve completed feature-length drama and comedy scripts and two television pilots. Please email me for full scripts and more info for the below log lines.

An homage to the early aughts about "making it" before social media, it’s pre-filter, pre-smartphone, and all heart. Synopsis, deck or script.
