Mission Statement

This story is about the reality-distorting and isolating effects of emotional abuse. Our hope is that it will reach and resonate with those who have felt similarly isolated, as well as a wider audience.

How Could I Forget You? is about the questions we ask ourselves.

When a relationship is over, how do we figure out what truly happened between ourselves and our partner? Especially if our experience of them is dramatically different from that of the outside world's. "Do I remember this correctly? Is that what they said? Am I making it up, am I as crazy as they thought I was?"

Repped by Affinity Artists and EKG Talent Group and has two beloved cats.

“Sullivan played one of the most difficult roles in the entire Greek canon with ease. Her emotion, her inner struggle, and her pacing were all executed with unmistakable precision. She made Medea very multifaceted and complex— she was sarcastic, seductive, cunning, maternal, honest, and emotional all at once...Director Tiffani Swalley and actress Emily Sullivan are absolutely two artists to watch.”

Sacha Voteau (Director) is a queer and trans artist dedicated to combining collaboration with artistic exploration. Utilizing their training in dramaturgy and directing, Sacha strives to foster a community of engagement and human-centered exploration with their fellow artists.

The visual field is one comprised of bending light and understanding how the human eye processes things. With that, you can craft almost an endless amount of visual experiences. That is what Will tries to achieve with each and every one of the projects he is a part of.

Audrey Roh (Producer) is a producer and assistant director who has worked on everything from commercials to features. She loves the collaborative spirit filmmaking requires and uses every project as an opportunity to hone her creative problem-solving skills.

Buzz Words:  Tropical| Musical |Escapist

Glitter Moments:  Vacation Vibes for Real Life, Parrothead Philosophy, and embracing the “go with the flow” life.

Content Information: This production contains dangerously high levels of fun, spontaneous romance, and island vibes that may lead to sudden urges to quit your job and move to the tropics. Expect mild references to alcohol consumption (margaritas, obviously), carefree lifestyles, and the occasional brush with heartbreak. Some scenes may feature irresponsible life decisions made in paradise, a near-miss with a volcano, and characters reckoning with past mistakes—but don’t worry, it all goes down easier with a tropical drink in hand. Viewer discretion is advised for those sensitive to laid-back living and mid-life course corrections.
