THE DARLINGS
STORY TEAM
Tracy Camp
Tracy was raised in a funeral home. "Perfect setting for a comedy, " she thought at age ten. And off she popped, making twisted little films in her dad's morgue. She took this cursed gift all the way to film school where she got a bachelor's in screenwriting.
Her writing is cheeky to the max. Her words so sharp they could cut a man. She kisses an audience and then slaps them across the face through masterfully subverted expectations.
Tracy lives in New Orleans, where she observes life through a lens of divine comedy. She is watching with great awe and wonder.
Natalie Hinds
Born and raised in Fort Worth, TX… Natalie's been spinning straw into gold since she first learned to screech.
Her childhood cul de sac catapulted her to NYU (Musical Theatre baby!), then straight into the skies as a Delta Flight Attendant. Ask her about that mayhem—I dare you.
This story draws on personal familial mythology (amongst many other things), in the hope that spinning the straw, speaking the words and telling the tale that has yet to pass over a single tongue will break a cycle-somewhere-and the dead may rest easy.
PRODUCTION TEAM
Ivan Plokhikh
Hailing from St. Petersburg, Russia, Ivan was a teen when he came to New York City in hopes of expanding his horizons. He eventually ended up in New Orleans to obtain a degree in music business and sink his roots into the art world.
Known for being at the right place at the right time, Ivan’s wit and ingenuity have made him a catalyst for creativity and adventure. Joining the Kill Your Darlings team as a producer and music supervisor (and Tracy’s therapist), he is determined to bring abundance and excitement to the project.
Hunter Thomas
Handsome, adorable, single Hunter Thomas knew at age four he wanted to be a filmmaker when he saw John McClane leap from Nakatomi Plaza. That was it for him; nothing else made sense. So after two years at NOCCA spent learning the pillars of film, he forwent college and dove head-first into the film industry. In the twelve years since, Hunter has amassed an impressive resume, having worked on over 100 film projects and 250 music videos and commercials. This past year, Hunter has completed his own personal game of blackout bingo by landing a project on every streaming platform. He joins Kill Your Darlings as a producer and a softboy Pisces.
