The Writer
Skate Like a Girl
In a hockey-obsessed town that has never won a championship, a mixed-race female prodigy, Aiyana Willow, defies tradition and leads Snowville’smen’s team to a historic title—facing fierce rivals, small-town prejudice, and the weight of her father’s past failure.
Uncle Hockey
In small-town Canada, an uncle plays on his nephew's competitive hockey team. He blends in as a teenager, concealing his identity against the hockey community to repair their relationship while reviving his nephew's love for the game.
Brizzled
When Chelsey uproots his life in Canada to support his wife's dream job at Aardman Animation in Bristol, he finds himself navigating the chaos of stay-at-home dad life, British quirks, and his own fading sense of purpose—all while trying (and failing) to keep his toddler from eating crumpets off the floor.(Based on a true story)
