The Lady Vanishes remount (2024)
A retelling of the greatest train mystery film of Hollywood's golden era by Hitchcock in 1938. My version occurs on the S.S. Normandie, the most opulent passenger ship to grace the seas. After extensive research, I have chosen new settings, color palettes, and costumes for each main character.
Funny Face remount (2023)
A reimagining of the classic film, Funny Face (1957), starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. I have recast, relocated, and redesigned the costumes. My version is set in 1914 England, on the cusp of WW1. Jo is a war nurse with the Red Cross; Dick is the heir to the Hartforshire estate and now a soldier. Duval, renamed "Olive" and played by a woman, is an ambulance driver and artist, meeting Jo at the front. Maggie, now "Matthew," is Dick's overbearing father. The false prophet Flostre becomes Emmeline Pankhurst, the real-life leader of England's suffragette movement.
