Natalie Noire — Pocket Gems/Episode Interactive

I was contracted by Pocket Gems to write an original three-episode pilot for their interactive storytelling app Episode. After narrowing down the pitches and finalizing the treatment, I got the green light to write and direct the first three episodes of NATALIE NOIRE, the story of an aspiring detective who finds herself falling for the main suspect in her first case. Unfortunately, Episode’s pilot program came to an unexpected end just as I completed my first three episodes. As a result, NATALIE NOIRE never received the expected push that came with their previous pilots. Despite this, the project served as an invaluable opportunity to learn branch storytelling, as well as execute an original concept from pitch to publishing.
