DEATH DEATH
A proof-of-concept short
Two estranged half-sisters reunite on Mother's Day to fulfill their late mother's dying wish: to recreate the plot of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The riotous laughter that inexplicably accompanies times of grief is what "Death Death" is about. In this dark comedy, we watch two women rediscover what it means to really live. Stylistically, this concept-short is both a love letter and hate mail to 80s American Cinema.

DON'T SAY VAGINA!

An absurdist comedy based on a true story, “Don’t Say Vagina!” is sure to knock your socks off, and maybe your pants too.
Created as a part of the work Marissa is doing to encourage female shame-resilience in sexuality, and creating more space for women in physical comedy on film.
