Valerie's acting and writing projects
Here are some ongoing projects I am involved with in 2025
My first short film 'Between the Tides' was shot in 2022 and I entered into over 20 film festivals. Below are just a few First Time Film Directors awards and photos. I directed and wrote the screenplay with a cameo acting role.
A sequel to this film 'Holding back the Tides' is now being written and will be filmed in the Spring/Summer this year.
Georgina and Summer a TV/Streaming episodic comedy series has been co-written with Lisa Rose and a 24 minute pilot has been shot. We had a screening of this in February 2025 at Soho Screening Rooms now in the process of ongoing pitching to producers/production companies.
