Expanding My Writing to Movies

July 31, 2025

Did you know that I've been in the movies? Yep! I was an extra in a bar scene with my husband in Daredevil. Unfortunately our scene was reshot with new extras. But Dan's part stayed in the director's cut!

Me and Dan dressed as bar patrons in Daredevil. I wish I had those lizard pants!

And I was an extra and stand-in in The Majestic. I was a townsfolk and wore a black wig.

Me standing in front of The Majestic movie theater. My sister's company, Heaven or Las Vegas made the neon sign.

My husband and I also attended movie premieres for an old friend, Mark Steven Johnson's, movies - Simon Birch and Daredevil. 

In my 20s I took a few film classes and made some music videos (MTV was big back then). I even took a stab at writing a feature movie script set in the barrio in Phoenix that I may rewrite someday.

So it's no surprise that I am coming full circle and writing scripts again, this time Christmas and Rom-coms.  I can't wait to see one of my movies on the screen!
