Luna Moth: A Commentary
My screenplay portfolio consists of one script, ‘Luna Moth’s Cocoon.’ The plot is centered around a young girl, Lainey Azlin who is experiencing grief, different ways of coping, and the life that comes after. She is constantly in her own head, reliving memories, whether she want to or not, or daydreaming she is far away, detaching herself from the reality she finds herself in. Escaping through fantasy is her coping mechanism, although not referred to in the text, but the excessive maladaptive daydreaming is named ‘Brambling.’ This was originally the screenplay’s title when the idea first came to me, it is purposely not supposed to make much sense, but the word just fits. It is like the ‘Cocoon’ idea, inspired by nature’s way of hiding. ‘Brambling’ can be used as a verb, to go ‘brambling,’ in this sense would be to escape, to hide away from reality either through oversleeping, or constant maladaptive daydreaming. Lainey Azlin is my protagonist’s first name, however she goes by her alias ‘Luna Moth,’ as she constructs a whole new reality for herself, she also reconstructs her identity, name and appearance. I decided I wanted her to have a different name she gives herself after reading Greta Gerwig’s script: ‘Ladybird’ (2017). This is a coming-of-age plot, a young girl with a complicated relationship with her mother, who is striving to make herself something. She renames herself and is in touch with her theatrical side. Greta Gerwig’s screenwriting is something I turned to immediately, she can write complex characters that pull on your heartstrings so effortlessly.

An ode to finding love in myself
Because when you just dream about it in your heart, work hard for it and believe in the universe to perform its magic, it conspires in the best-designated ways to make your dreams come true. I have always believed in the higher power, something beyond the fathomable vision of the human eye that beholds us, ties us to our purpose and protects us in times of uncertainty and dejection.

An ode to being lost in life
Because when you just dream about it in your heart, work hard for it and believe in the universe to perform its magic, it conspires in the best-designed ways to make your dreams come true. I have always believed in the higher power, something beyond the fathomable vision of the human eye that beholds us, ties us to our purpose and protects us in times of uncertainty and dejection. It is comforting to know that some mighty and divine force beckons us in moments of need and sometimes all we need to do is let go and have faith. Life in its truest mirth often transcends through the truces of rationalisation and delusion, through the light of knowing exactly what to do and under the traces of pretence which hides the scariest part, not having a single clue as to where your life is going.

The Vanishing of Hollow Creek
Hollow Creek had always been the kind of town where nothing ever happened—until people started disappearing. First, it was a drifter, then a shopkeeper’s son, then old Mr. Thompson, who’d spent decades sitting outside the general store, watching the world pass by. The townspeople whispered, wondering if they had a serial killer in their midst. But there were no bodies, no traces, no signs of struggle.
