- His Name is Eku by Thitu Muiruri - His name is Eku is short drama about male trauma. In the film, we see how the main character, Eku is unable to overcome his childhood trauma when his girlfriend, Kia initiates a romantic gesture. Throughout the film, we see how guilt, shame and fear play a huge role in enabling Eku to hide and pretend to be okay, even when confronted. I play Alison, a television station employee who supports two of her favorite interns pursuing their early careers in television production.
- Aftershock by Emily O'Hara - The story of a strong-willed college sophomore grappling with the aftermath of a traumatic event faces institutional indifference and misplaced priorities, making her an isolated witness to an unjust system. I play the Secretary who interacts with Hannah who attempts to challenge the status quo.
- Charles & Stan by Tom Gillogley - Charles is a stay-at-home father of two and husband. Stan is Charles' neighbor, a retiree who suffers from severe depression. Their interactions throughout the film are increasingly suspect until it is eventually revealed that Charles and Stan are actually the same person with two distinct personalities. I play Pamela, Stan's wife, a well-funded and highly published medical researcher in brain neuro-chemistry. Unbeknownst to Charles, Pamela and his therapist are having an affair.
