In Development

Director – Limited Series, Dedication by Nicola Kraus (The Nanny Diaries novel). - (Story by Marlo Hunter & Nicola Kraus) Marlo developed the series with writer, Nicola Kraus, based on Nicola's novel with Emma McLaughlin by the same name.  Kate Hollis's high-school boyfriend disappeared shortly before prom, only to resurface years later as the biggest rockstar on the planet, famous for songs about her: the damaged, fragile mess who still has a hold on him. At 30, she finally gets the chance to confront him back in their hometown.  But can she reclaim her narrative before her unfinished past claims her?  

Co-Creator & Director, The Theatrical Culinary Project – an immersive play and dining experience featuring co-host of The Chew & Top Chef finalist, Carla Hall, in collaboration with award-winning playwrights Jeff Augustin, Daniel Pearle, Martyna Majok, Harrison David Rivers, and Julian Sheppard. Set in a restaurant, the lines of reality and fiction are blurred as the audience dines on a four-course meal while submerged in a multi-layered play. Sasha Eden (co-founder, WET Productions) is Co-Conceiver & Creative Producer. In development since 2015. www.theatricalculinaryproject.com
