DR. QUINN, MORPHINE WOMAN with Jane Seymour

Written by Lindsay Kerns, directed by Lauren Palmigiano, edited by Justin Nijm and Jack Bishop, produced by Jason Carden, Eleanor Winkler, Ben Sheehan, Brianne Trosie and Sean Dacanay. Starring Jane Seymour, Joe Lando, and the original cast of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman. 

I've been a hardcore Dr. Quinn-head all my life, so reuniting the original cast and shooting on location at the original set was basically miraculous. Jane Seymour and Joe Lando are hilarious, and I'm very proud of how well this ambitious piece turned out.

I had a ton of fun writing for BETCH, an all-female sketch show produced by AwesomenessTV that airs on Verizon's go90 app. Starring the lovely and hilarious Maddy Whitby, Audrey Whitby, Monica Sherer, and Kiana Brown, directed/edited by Ilya Polyakov.
