When beginning the search for the right production company to create the kind of art I wanted to see in the world, I quickly discovered I'd have to start my own.
I decided to create a production company that focuses solely on uplifting marginalized voices from a feminist lens. I love to describe myself as a wild woman - I feel like it encompasses my sense of self and how I move through the world as an artist. So the name Wylder Womyn Productions fit like a well-worn burlesque glove.
The Wylder Womyn logo (illustrated by NYC-based artist Kit Mills) is a wolf howling atop a bed of sprockets, which if you look closely, are illlustrations of the female, nonbinary, and trans symbols all interlocked and working together. Queerness is an important part of my identity and my artistry and so with every project I produce, there will be a focus on uplifting the queer community as a whole by working with queer folks of all identities both in front of and behind the camera.

Very excited that my debut novel manuscript was chosen to participate in the acclaimed literary fellowship, Aspen Institute's Summer Words 2022!
My supernatural adventure odyssey with a feminist lens (~70k words) was workshopped in the editing program this past June. My manuscript was one of six chosen during an especially competitive year. Aspen Summer Words was a wonderful experience and I loved the process of editing my very first book with this exceptional program. - What a dream! Next step... publishing this bad boi. |
