Krista Apple AEA | SAG-AFTRA
I'm drawn to re-imagining classics through adaptation and contemporary aesthetic.
I also love contemporary scripts that are heightened, meta-, and language-rich.
I seek stories that celebrate the brilliant mysteries of our humanity.
My work is inclusive always, and queer-forward whenever possible.
I crave bold designs. And I thrive in ensemble-driven work that
promotes collective creation and community care.
