Cherise Pascual

Cherise Pascual owns lots of shoes and with them she's traversed the world of market research, stepped lightly in medical labs, tapped across a theater stage, stomped her way down make-believe runways like a 4'10” mini-model in her mind, and stopped at AFI, where all the shoes she's worn before became character research. She ran barefoot through the American Film Institute and graduated with an MFA in Screenwriting. Cherise enjoys writing in a variety of genres and matches her voice to fit the tone, from comedy and satire, sci-fi, erotic and psychological thrillers, revenge stories, to political and period dramas. She co-wrote TEENS LIKE PHIL (Award of Merit - Best Shorts Film Festival, Audience Award - NYC Short Film Festival, and Award for LGBT Awareness - Don Thompson LGBT Film Festival) and art-directed AFTERGLOW. She is a poet, trained vocalist, self-celebrated fashionista, avid procrastinator, and lover of all things dairy.
