Hi, I'm Tori-Lynne!

I'm a Brooklyn-based writer, narrative designer, and filmmaker with over ten years of industry experience.I have a deep passion for film and video games, and their expansive potential as narrative mediums. My recent work infuses earnest and honest character work with a touch of mysticism and myth, all the while being informed by themes of redemption, abandonment, and overcoming trauma.I've also worked as a camera operator and video engineer, with extensive experience on TV/Film productions of various sizes, as well as working in the live events industry for six years.Looking to collaborate?
Feel free to shoot me an email.

BEDTIME ADVENTURES (2022)
Assistant Writer/Narrative Designer

“Sex is boring, adventuring is fun! Join Monday and Corduroy in their ace-tastic nightly adventures and discover a new world filled with surprises. A short but funny looping game with four possible adventures, and a bonus scene if you finish all four!”
Made for Ace Jam 2023In this project, I collaborated with the design team to come up with a unifying narrative for Monday and Corduroy. We developed a guide that the team used as reference to map out the gameplay and level progression. I then wrote out the dialogue in YarnSpinner, and made appropriate adjustments to line delivery as we playtested.You can play it here!
