In this series, I’ll share the first page (or few pages) of a screenplay I’ve written, and explore visual inspiration for the look and feel for the film.

The Woman’s Order is my first feature film screenplay, and it’s very special to me 🖤

Logline: "Based on actual events in Civil War New Orleans, an Irish immigrant woman is accused of violating The Woman’s Order and makes a pact with a Voodoo priestess to seek vengeance against her accuser.”
