PORTFOLIO

Carrie Cutforth has produced & written across screen content:

SLOPPY JONES
When they find the dismembered torso of the dirtbag owner of Sloppy Jones Grill in the restaurant’s freezer, three queer twenty-something servers stop at nothing to clear their names, pay their rent and party like it’s 1999.

Studio Killers 404
Thrown into cyberspace and left fending for their very existence, Cherry and the Studio Killers are building an army of LGBTQ+ positive, misfits and outliers, on a quest to overthrow the Evil Algorithm, a deep state like organization that is destroying the internet and erasing all its weird wonders.

STARGAZE

A disparate group of rookie oddballs join an elite squad commissioned to save the Queerverse (from itself)—only to discover the STARGAZE program is a sham make-work initiative designed to keep the crew from rocking the boat by sending them out on a fool’s quest led by two elder queer chaperones who despise each other.

Think: A 2SLGBTQIA+ The Facts Of Life meets The Breakfast Club in space!

What would you do if you could go back in time? Would you make any changes? Would you make peace with a dying parent, or salvage your failed career? Save JFK from being shot? Or something more sinister... Would you manipulate your own love story?
