Dark Fantasy/Supernatural/YA

Limited Television Series

Status: Active Development

Sizzle Reel

Lady Vade’s Awakening follows Xianique Vade, a goth teenager with the ability to manipulate frost, as she begins breaking free from an ancient system of control while the boundaries between Earth and the parallel world of Dreme begin to collapse.

What starts as a deeply personal awakening gradually becomes part of a much larger conflict involving identity, power, family, memory, and two realities moving toward collision.

Originally conceived as prose, Lady Vade’s Awakening has evolved into a limited television series and the first developed story within the larger Merger of Worlds franchise.

The project is currently being developed through a television series bible, pilot development, a 20-episode story structure, character profiles, mythology, motifs, episode architecture, and pitch materials.

Creative Focus

The series blends dark fantasy, supernatural drama, gothic aesthetics, and character-driven storytelling while exploring what happens when a young woman begins questioning the reality she was taught to accept.

At its core, Lady Vade’s Awakening is a story about agency.

Who controls the story of your life?

What happens when you realize the world around you was built on rules you never agreed to?

And what are you willing to become once you finally understand that you have a choice?

Part of the Merger of Worlds Franchise

Television Franchise|Interconnected Limited Series

Status:Active Development

Merger of Worlds is an original television franchise built across interconnected limited series, each following different characters and perspectives as parallel realities move toward collision.

Rather than telling one enormous story through a single protagonist, the franchise is designed so each series can stand on its own while revealing another piece of the larger mythology. Characters, histories, conflicts, and consequences cross between worlds, gradually exposing how events that appear isolated are part of something much bigger.

The first series in active development, Lady Vade’s Awakening, follows Xianique Vade as she begins breaking free from an ancient system of control while the boundaries between Earth and the parallel world of Dreme begin to collapse.

Creative Development

My work on Merger of Worlds includes franchise architecture, interconnected series development, mythology, character relationships, continuity, worldbuilding, and long-form story planning across multiple television properties.

The current version represents a major evolution from the original Merger of Worlds concept developed earlier in my career. That original pitch remains preserved elsewhere in this portfolio as part of my creative development history.

Currently in Development

Additional interconnected series are planned as the larger Merger of Worlds franchise continues to expand.

Narrative Radio Series|Science Fiction & Metal Broadcasting

A soft-spoken theoretical physicist guides listeners through reality-bending metal while investigating parallel realities, dimensional fractures, time loops, and impossible phenomena, leaving one question unresolved: does Dr. Celine Halloway merely study other realities, or has she already walked through them?

About

The Halloway Paradox blends speculative science, character performance, narrative broadcasting, and underground metal into an immersive Dark Star Radio program.

Suicide Awareness Short Film
Status: In Development Pitch Video 

Status: On hold

Logline
A grounded narrative short exploring depression, connection, and quiet moments that can save a life.

About

The Bus is based on a true moment in Jessika’s life, when she first met someone on a bus during the era when The Matrix had just come out. Later, he told her that if she hadn’t chosen to sit with him that day, he would have taken his own life. What no one knew was that Jessika was surviving her own unspoken traumas at that time, quietly pushing for good grades and trying to escape, carrying battles no one could see. The joke she often made after that—calling him “Mr. Anderson” in her best Agent Smith voice—became a small symbol of connection and lightness in a dark time for them both. This film is about how showing up, even when you’re fighting your own monsters, can save someone else—and maybe yourself.

Methods & Contributions

• Thematic exploration of mental health and hope
