Wild Sidehas a long – but typical – backstory. It started when a producer at Adaptive Studios and I met after he’d read a sample of mine, and we started talking about projects that he was involved with – which included Outward Blonde, a book that Adaptive controlled the rights to.

I think it’s so important to find your voice. In writing, to figure out the stories you want to tell and HOW you want to tell them. What sets you apart from someone else? What are you bringing to the page that no one else can? In producing, it’s also about finding your voice, but in a different way – what do you want to shepherd into the world? Wha...
The Art of Morewas special in so many ways to me – but it was also special to Crackle, our streaming network, in that it was their first bigger-budget scripted series. So as the network was starting to ramp up this part of their business, we got to be the guinea pig in some ways. That was awesome because we got to all be in it together; but of cour...
I was a German studies double-major in college and I spent half a year living in Tuebingen, Germany in 2001. Prost!
