    paper The Worst Choices
    The Worst Choices is a 14-page dramatic short screenplay that follows a teenage girl whose plan to quietly terminate a pregnancy after being sexually assaulted is disrupted when her only ally begins to falter, forcing her to confront the consequences alone. The script explores themes of trauma, autonomy, and emotional resilience through a restrained, character-driven lens. With naturalistic dialogue, visual symbolism, and a strong sense of emotional pacing, the piece reflects a grounded yet psychologically rich storytelling style. The Worst Choices was a finalist in the Shore Scripts Short Film Fund and ranked 7 on the Coverfly Red List for drama shorts in June 2025.
