Don’t worry, there’s enough of me to go around.
Mila Rae Mancuso (b. 2001) is a Brooklyn-based screenwriter, and artist working in photo, video, and illustration. She is haunted by Antonin Artaud's theatrical scenarios and a white rabbit with a pocket watch. She received her BA from Emerson College in Poetry, Film, Photography, and their histories. Her work explores the surreal, feminisms, and the macabre. She recently finished writing her first feature film, Unknown Vintage.
Her work has been featured in The Drift, Hobart, On the Rag, Dream Boy Book Club, Revolutions Per Minute Film Fest, Old Pal Magazine, Inferno, Wingless Dreamer, and Millennial Pulp. She is currently a Poetry Reader for Passengers Press.
