Feature Film
Obsessed for years with inventing time travel to stop herself from committing a heinous act, a physicist succeeds at 70 only to arrive after the crime and become trapped with her suicidal younger self. Together, she must learn self-love in order to survive.
The title alludes to the Bootstrap Paradox (wherein a person cannot occupy the same time and space with themselves), the idea of being trapped, and finally of pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps.
Bootstrapped is in the last gasp of post-production. Final poster and trailer coming soon!

In addition to the feature film Bootstrapped, my production company, Comme Le Vin Productions, has produced four short films and a music video so far.
