WRITING & DIRECTING
ONE MILLION GIRLS
ONE MILLION GIRLS is a live show, and sketch comedy series created by Emily Dayton Evans and Gara Lonning.
The show seeks to disrupt the stereotypical, one-dimensional representations of LGBTQIA people and stories; and to instead create queer art that is centered in JOY! The pilot, made with an all LGBTQ cast and crew, just won BEST OF Series Fest 2023.
GREEN JUICE
Cassie, a young woman stuck living a monotonous life in Northern Maine, becomes obsessed with social media positivity influencer, Hunter. With encouragement from her otherwise apathetic boyfriend, she tries in earnest to be more like the picture perfect vision of happiness Hunter portrays. Soon she starts to see Hunter everywhere she goes. Is Cassie successfully manifesting a better life, or is she losing her grip on reality? Green Juice questions the outward image of happiness curated on social media, and asks whether or not finding happiness is really as easy a drinking a green juice.
