I am currently getting my MFA from the Writing for Screen and Television program at University of Southern California. Please reach out to dhof@usc.edu if interested in reading a sample.

Loglines:

Echo, short (finalist for USC's 546 script competition) - After Anika sees the ghost of her friend, Lena, who died by suicide, she becomes obsessed with getting closer to Lena by any means possible.

The Girls' Guide to Friends and Demons, feature - When Liz, an optimistic camp counselor, is sacrificed by her "best friend" in a satanic ritual, she finds herself in Hell, with a demon who doesn't understand girl code.

Gig Economy, comedy pilot - After Daphne loses her full-time job, she enters the world of gig work alongside a quirky band of gen Z friends struggling to live their dreams in Chicago. The anti-workplace comedy, where there is no permanent job and everyone has anxiety.
