At seeing her best friend pushed out of their home due to rent rises, she devises a strategy to get revenge on the landlord and get her friend back, which leads to unintended consequences.

Very Local OTT | Bourbon Blaze: The Night that tested America’s spirit
2024
The “Bourbon Blaze” documentary takes viewers into the highly competitive – and flammable – bourbon industry in Kentucky, where distillers compete to sell every last drop. The industry has stood the test of time, through Prohibition and changing consumer tastes and is as old as America itself. But when a massive fire hits one of the largest bourbon distilleries, the families of competing bourbon companies have to decide whether to lend a hand… or let it burn. This was the pilot episode for Hearst TV’s / Very Local’s new documentary show “Little known Big Histories”. I served as writer and producer.
