Hooray! Another festival for the East Coast crowd!

We've just learned that REPRESENT has been selected for the Baltimore Next Media Web Fest! The screenings are taking place at the end of the month over Halloween weekend! We'll update you with more details, but in the meantime, take a look at their website to see the other selections!

New Jersey Web Fest Nominations!!

8/14/2019

BREAKING NEWS: We're awesome. 😎

Our friends at New Jersey Web Fest have been so, so good to us! We've been nominated for three - count 'em, THREE - awards at the upcoming festival! The categories are:

Best Series Premise
Best Actress in a Comedy for Emily Ann Scott (our lil' Ellie!)
Best On-Screen Chemistry for Emily Ann Scott and Jackie Dallas!

We are so mega-proud of all of these nominations, but the last one has to be our favorite. REPRESENT is first and foremost a story about female friendship, and it means so much to us that our Tess and Ellie have been nominated together! ❤️

We'll keep you posted on future updates from NJ Web Fest, via our East Coast associate/actor-who-plays-Matt/lovable goofball human-puppy Michael Ridley! THANK YOU, NEW JERSEY!!!!

FESTIVAL NEWS | Screenings and noms!

Here we are again, friends! Back at it again with REPRESENT news! This time, I am thrilled to announce three major awesome things that our little web series gets to do!

First, we will, for the first time EVER, be screening internationally! That's right, Seoul Web Fest selected REPRESENT and will be screening episode 9, "Spilling the Tea." Around here (aka my apartment/friend circle), it's widely known as the Percy episode, because it features Connor Tracy as Percy -- arguably the funniest part of the whole series and definitely a fan favorite (see below for the fierceness)! We can't be in Korea for it, but we are so, so pumped that we will be there in spirit!

Secondly, we've been nominated for another award!! The amazing folks at Oregon Cinema Arts Film Festival will be screening our sixth episode, affectionately titled "The Patriarchy F*cks Up Everything", on Saturday, August 10. But not only that - they have also nominated our cast for Best Ensemble! For a mama bear who is endlessly proud of her cast no matter what, this is still huge. Thank you, OCAFF!

And finally, we are so, so excited to say that we are going back to our roots! Broad Humor Film Festival was the first fest to accept and stage a reading of the REPRESENT script, and now they have selected our episodes for screening and awards consideration! Marissa Vonn, one of REPRESENT's directors, and I had the most amazing time at Broad Humor last year (see the picture to the right), and we are so thrilled to be able to go back! That'll be the weekend of August 29 - September 1 in Venice, CA.

GUYS. I CAN'T WITH ALL THE LOVE. REPRESENT is and will forever be my baby, and to see that it means something to other people is endlessly satisfying. I'm gonna go cry now ♥

Award-winners in the house!

5/11/2019

We've been gettin' awards y'all!

Back in April, we got the news that we had been nominated for Best Writer and Best Actress (two times over - go Jackie and Emily!) at the Queen Palm International Film Festival. Now we know that we won an Honorable Mention for Best Actress - TV/Web Series and the Silver Award for Best Writing - TV/Web Series - as well as an Honorable Mention for Best Web Series overall!

What's more, last week we went to the BLASTOFF Film Festival and found out that REPRESENT was named Best Web Series! Of the WHOLE fest, guys!!

What are we gonna do next? Go to Disneyland? Actually, it's more like the New Media Film Festival in June, where we are nominated for Web Series Promo! Stay tuned, feminists!

Festival NEws!

9/6/2018

Heya friends! Marissa (director/jumpsuit goddess) and I had the most AMAZING time at Broad Humor Film Festival this past weekend! REPRESENT was chosen as a finalist in the script competition, so we got to see a live reading of a selection from the series (that's me at the Q&A below)! It was such an honor to be included amongst such an incredibly talented group of female comedy filmmakers!

Also, we just got the news that REPRESENT got its FIRST official film festival selection (excluding the scripts and trailer)! Episode 6, affectionately titled "The Patriarchy F*cks Up Everything," has been selected as a semi-finalist in the Los Angeles CineFest! And let me tell you, seeing our hard work being appreciated and recognized feels EVEN BETTER than we thought it would! Watch this space for more news as we submit REPRESENT to festivals!
