WRITING
Kirsten's screenplay for the comedic short TAKE ME AWAY was a Finalist in the 2021 Comox International Screenwriting Competition, and a 2020 Top Five Cinespark Pitchfest finalist. "An exasperated working Mom takes a magical bubble bath that transforms her life." Sponsorship opportunities are at TAKE ME AWAY
RADIOLAND '48 was performed as a filmed theatrical production in June 2021 by Deep Cove Theatre Society of North Vancouver. The play is a cheeky one-act screwball romantic comedy set in 1948. "Sparks fly as employees try to save their beloved radio station before it closes forever."
