Blended
Web Series
Logline: Lil, a seasoned travel agent who’s seen the world, finds love later in the chaos of late-life, navigating peri-menopause, step-motherhood, and a quirky blended family with humour and warmth.
Synopsis: Blended is a comedic web series that takes place in present day. The show centres around Lil, a travel agent who is also a foodie and frequent workshop attendee, be it pottery, cooking classes, or abstract macrame. Lil found love later with Luka, an Ad Exec, who has a 21-year-old daughter, Zosie. Lil always wanted a family of her own, but the timing had never lined up when she was ready. Now that she’s inherited one, she’s struggling to figure out how and where she fits.
In her earnest, she makes whole-hearted attempts to build relationships with her stepdaughter, with Luka, and with “The Moms” (AKA the mother of Luka’s child, Brydie, and her wife, Taylor). This blended family is unique but relatable in their chaos, finding laughter, tension and tenderness in equal amounts.

This Summer, Maybe
Feature rom-com
This Summer, Maybe centres around Ali Carter, who has been training all year for the Brooklyn Memorial Charity Marathon (that she’s going to win), where she is an ER nurse. She is also getting ready to celebrate her thirtieth birthday; hello, not only is it a big year, it’s her year—training hard, planning hard, and working hard. When she realizes her work rival, MITCH FOSTER, a broody, sculpted hottie and a pediatric sports medicine specialist, is on the same training team as her, the competition becomes spicy as Ali concocts a plan to distract him. It's working out exactly as planned, she says, her defensive inside voice taking over, yet she feels butterflies in her stomach... Is love sickness a real thing? Ali thought it was for the likes of Jane Austen’s great love stories that she loves so dearly. This summer may be Ali's year in more ways than one, but is she ready?
