A proof of concept short film created by Marissa.
Upon arriving at their mother's house in Michigan for Mother's Day, estranged half sisters, Marcus and Frannie discover their mother has killed herself. As instructed by their mother's suicide note, the two take their dead mom to Chicago to fulfill her dying wish: to have enacted the plot of an 80s cult classic together.
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.
DEATH DEATH
DON'T SAY VAGINA!
This mockumentary-style short follows 12-year-old Monica through a pre-teen witch hunt as she’s forced to stand trial for her summer camp misdeeds.
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.

"Back in New York, the Corkscrew Festival has gone online with the free 'Corkscrew 4.0,' which is a placeholder for an IRL edition in 2021.
The fest runs until Aug. 23 and offers interactive experiences inspired by the plays that would have had physical production had the world not gone to pot.
One event is billed as 'a party in a Google spreadsheet,' and our craving for theater is strong enough that it sounds awesome."
