Dickinson is a half-hour comedy series that audaciously explores the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of rebellious young poet Emily Dickinson. Set in the 19th century, the series is a coming-of-age story that finds Emily to be the unexpected hero for our millennial generation. TV-14 | 30min

Drum & Lace is an Italian composer, sound artist, and performer that writes and creates music for film and media. Raised in Florence, Italy she received her Undergraduate Degree from Berklee College of Music (Film Scoring & Composition) and a Masters Degree (Music Technology & Composition) from New York University. Inspired by interesting sounds and cinematic elements, Drum & Lace melds together sampled field recordings and lush layers of synths to create densely textural and beat-heavy music, greatly drawing from film music, music concrete, and modern electronica. Her ambient and chamber work also gathers great inspiration from nature and natural sounds, as well as the juxtaposition of unlikely sounds with one another.

Her composition work includes writing for film, TV, dance, theater, fashion, and commercials. Her feature-length film scoring credits include fashion documentary The First Monday in May, HBO documentary At The Heart of Gold- Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal, upcoming noir-thriller Deadly Illusions, and the documentary The Penny Black. Television credits include AppleTV+ Original Series Dickinson and season 3 of NBC series Good Girls. Notable other composition projects include music for NARS, Always, Tanya Taylor, Girls Who Code, and Squarespace as well as ongoing collaborations with theatrical production company Saudade Theatre and Heidi Duckler Dance. Her 2020 releases include Further EP, a new work composed for contemporary dance that features field recordings, electronics, and strings performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO). Further will be out June 5, 2020, on Little Twig Records.
