This marks Sherri’s first major TV project as the lead writer and director. Besides being part of the writing team for Mike Flanagan’s 2021 horror series, Sherri has also written a few independent short films including Beauty, Forever, Down, Down, Baby and The Family Romance., who has voiced the titular Disney princess in animated projects including Ralph Breaks the Internet.
