About Mara

I wrote and produced two features, both of which are streaming on TubiTV, Apple TV, the Roku Channel, Amazon Prime, Hoopla (streaming service for libraries), and several others.

DETOURS is a father/daughter road-trip comedy about starting over at any age. Leads Tara Westwood (The Grudge, Triggered, Plane) and Carlo Fiorletta (Available, Heartbreak Hotel) are joined by a great supporting cast that includes Richard Kind (Inside Out), Paul Sorvino, (Goodfellas), and Phyllis Somerville (Little Children). It's streaming on IMDb TV, TubiTV, The Roku Channel, and others.

Surviving Family stars Billy Magnussen (Made for Love, Game Night) and Sarah Sarah Wilson (The Catalyst, A Little Help). It's a story of love, alcholism, mental illness, and garden gnomes. The great supporting cast includes Tara Westwood, Phyllis Somerville, Katherine Hughes (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), and Vincent Pastore (the Sopranos). It's streaming on TubiTV, The Roku Channel, Alice Movies on Struum, and others.

I'm currently collaborating on a micro-budget horror called Death House. Logline:
An ambitious young Black woman teams up with a neurotic tech genius to turn her family’s computer business into the first billion-dollar Black-owned AI consulting company.

Unique traits: an insane amount of perseverance :)
