Online Theatre

In my theatre studies at the University of Utah in 2000-2004, I came across a strange play called Six Characters in Search…

In March 2020, my community went into strict lockdown as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. I, and many other artists, creatives and performers, lost work we were excited about and had been financially counting on. May brought back the first tentative steps in theatre and film from a few individuals and companies. I missed doing the work I wanted to do. So, jumping into the deep end of filmmaking with both ignorant feet, I decided to make my own short film.

The play asks what love really is, what is reasonable to do for it, what kinds of love are appropriate, and whose story should get a happy ending. Pretty heavy stuff for a light and fluffy comedy!

Filmmaking and live theatrical performance have, like many industries, been abruptly interrupted by social distancing and the pandemic. I watched as friend after friend lost valuable employment gigs and hobbiest performance opportunities.

I put Kellie through the creation of an original fantasy music video with help from our mentor Russ, despite planned and unplanned suprises along the way.
