Producer

In 2022 Virginia Produced Stranding, a sci-fi queer short in which she also took the lead in. In 2023 Virginia Produced People Watching as Charlie in a short queer romance as well as financially contributed to the short film For Rent which she also took the lead in. People Watching is currently making the rounds at film festivals and is available for optioning.

In 2017 Virginia paired with Rogers TV to create a 12 episode Live action series called Face paint and Fairy Tales. After a taste of producing this type of content, Virginia created Mabel Moon Productions in early 2021. With a focus on young audiences, MMP intends to create interesting, thoughtful new media for children.

In the spring of 2021, MMP shot 3 proof of concept episodes for a 3 x 26 live action/ animated series featuring Virginia’s face painting. This show concept is currently available for optioning, please contact Virginia at mabelmoonproductions@gmail.com for a full pitch package.

One of Virginia’s passions is as an award- winning face and body artist with her Children’s Entertainment company Mabel Moon. Over the last 10 years Virginia has been perfecting her skills and took her Halloween face painting to a new level in 2020 when she was hired on as a Key SFX MUA on the horror film Pray For Me. From bruising that aged, to cuts, gashes, open wounds, frothing mouths and puncture wounds, Virginia can provide a wide range of looks for your next film project as a (non-union) crew member.
