In 2017, I launched a non-profit live-read series in an attempt to bring together my love of food, film, and community. Each quarter we host an immersive reading of a cult classic film script complete with themed refreshments, photo booths, and key props and set pieces. We partner with local small businesses to provide a curated market and all proceeds are donated to a local charity. Previous live reads have included The Sandlot, Practical Magic, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Female Animal has been on hiatus since 2019.
