Heidi Willis
When Heidi was four, her single mom couldn’t afford a great daycare so Heidi and her sister got dropped off at The Lollypop Ranch each day. During naptime, the daycare workers would play old B&W horror movies (Dracula, The Mummy, etc) on a projector while the children tried to sleep. These are her earliest and fondest memories of film. We’ll never know what possessed those daycare workers to show horror movies to children, but two outcomes were likely for Heidi: become a psychopath OR a fan of all things horror. Luckily for her friends and family, Heidi became the latter. This love of horror branched into a love of writing horror and suspense, too. Many of her feature and short length scripts have been finalists or won in various competitions such as the Screencraft Fellowship, the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition, among others.
