Peanut, a self-destructive college student who has yet to develop a filter, ignores the recent death of her father by focusing on art school and her dying dog. Having lived with her dad through years of illness, Peanut attempts to detangle the warped anticipation and strained familiarity left in his wake with failed hookups and art assignments. “obit” is a dark comedy about what children owe their parents and how chronic illness brings chronic mourning for the loved ones of those affected.

East of Mercy
Full-Length Drama
2024 Marina Keegan Prize Winner
In 1998, a flood hit San Antonio, TX. Saddled with three days of rain, the waters headed toward the wealthy north of the city. The predominantly Black east side is the one that was hit. All that’s left of Dorie Street today is a small wood and a highway, while two streets down the houses remain undisturbed. Of those affected was a family—a grandmother, her daughter, and her baby—all fighting for their futures. Using memory as archive, East of Mercy is an imagining into what was lost and what was retained in the wake of disaster.
