RESTING
PITCH FACE
HALF of the world’s ideas for games startups aren’t being heard — and I want to change that.
In 2023, just 2.2% of all VC investment money in the US went to female founders.
… Even though women founders generated 35% higher return on investment compared to their male counterparts.

After 20+ years in the games industry, shipping 30+ titles as a Game Director, studio Co-Founder, and more…
I’m developing RESTING PITCH FACE to raise awareness of how deeply rooted and problematic the gendered funding gap is, and to start a conversation about how to tackle the problem.
RESTING PITCH FACE
highly binge-able
short-form
dark comedy
web series
about the absurd obstacles women face in fundraising.
In Development
RESTING PITCH FACE: The Diaries
companion series of documentary interviews
with women and non-cis-gendered people
sharing real-life fundraising stories and challenges
— and discussing how we can band together to make change for the future.
The 7-minute prototype short film RESTING PITCH FACE was originally created by my 13-person team during a 48-hour competition weekend for The 48 Hour Film Project / Portland, September 2024.
It has been chosen as an official “BEST OF” selection!
The awards ceremony is November 10, 2024.
