With two short films under her belt in 2011, 2013 will bring the premiere of award winning script All Things Hidden to the screen.

Earlier in 2012, her short play @ PTSD & suicide was an Official Selection at Seattle's Double XX Fest in May,

She also helped develop the pilot for a new historical miniseries called The Vanquished see www.vanquishedseries.com

Recommendations:

“When my business partners and I were looking for a talented writer to help us draft a screenplay, we went through countless portfolios. But as I read Persephone Vandegrift’s extensive work, I could sense the passion with which every word had been chosen. Coming from someone with his own background in writing, this instantly made Persephone’s work stand out from the crowd." Adam Bednar, Assistant Producer - The Vanquished, 5th Kompanie Productions.

“As a producer and director working with Persephone is more than ideal. She is a writer in every sense of the word. I can give her an idea or concept and the product she can turnaround in minimal time is amazing. The future holds great things for this woman. You can bet I will be saying, "I knew her when..." Ben Andrews, Independent Producer/Director

"Persephone has a gift with words. She has a way of grabbing you from the beginning and the talent to keep you engaged all the way to the end. I have been lucky enough to have been able to read her fantastic work. She truly is a great storyteller. " Cathy Beasley, writer/director of "The Scapegoat" - KitCatFilms
