Current Project:
Perfect Love, a short film written and directed by Kelly McCready.
Logline:
At the brink of giving up on all human connection, a painfully inhibited young woman meets a self-loving stranger at New York's Coney Island, inspiring her to ride a rollercoaster–for real and in her own bedroom...
Mission:
Founded in 2018, Burning House is a non-profit production company in NYC dedicated to brutally reinventing classic plays and the development of urgent new works. In a world progressively getting harder to live in, Burning House has a particular interest in modern stories that set gender, class, and the environment on fire. With an emphasis on great acting and barebones aesthetic, our productions are intimate, roguish and often uncomfortable.
