RETAIL IS HELL
This quirky web series has now won 7 Best Web Series awards and counting! I thoroughly enjoy my roles as one of the shop employees and also co-producer of the series. You can watch it now on YouTube, and stay up to date with news via Instagram. We're even in the British Comedy Guide!
HEADCASE
HEADCASE is an ensemble play about surviving the relentless corporate workday, not embarrassing yourself in front of your crush, and navigating crippling anxiety. Touching and honest, this show highlights the tension between ‘living our best lives’ and prioritising our needs. HEADCASE inspires wholehearted conversation about self-care, stigma, and acceptance, and will leave audiences with a better understanding of mental healthcare and self-love.
The script is completed. It began as a solo show as part of Haley McGee’s Solo Show Creation Lab (2020). The solo version was workshopped with director Alex Venditelli, with support from the Arts Council of England, before being re-written into an ensemble show in 2022. The latest script has been workshopped with director Mariana Aristizabal Pardo, and a rehearsed reading was performed at The Space in January 2023. It is now being developed with MarianaMalena Theatre Company.
“The reader praised how strong the central idea of the play is…it clearly expressed how anxiety is paralysing, overwhelming, but also normal.” – Royal Court Literary Department
RAW CHEMISTRY - short film by Kara Chamberlain and Sarah Sawyer McCarthy
When all the men have been infected by a zombie virus, AJ risks it all to go on one last first date with the only man left.
Funny, heartbreaking, and romantic, this film flips the zombie movie trope on it's head and mixes it up with a dash of 80s romance. Now in post-production!
