She is writer/director of the first immersive 360/VR sitcom, which was recently one of six finalists for the Auggie Award at the 10th annual Augmented World Expo. The show features actors from Marvel’s Legion, FX’s The Bridge and YouTube’s Emmy-nominated Epic Rap Battles of History. Weston’s VR art has shown at galleries in LA, Miami and NYC and at Disney Concert Hall as a prelude to LA Phil’s Yoko Ono Tribute Concert. She is adjunct professor of VR filmmaking at Emerson College LA. Her speaking engagements as a VR storytelling expert include the National Conference of Science Writers’ in Washington, DC, Samsung’s Harman University, Stanford’s Brown Institute of Media Innovation, Stanford University, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences of Emmy’s fame, and Silicon Valley’s Augmented World Expo.
Weston is writer of the Austin Film Festival-lauded feature Miss Princeton and honed her comedic abilities writing jokes on Will & Grace and Better Off Ted. She’s since written television episodes for ABC’s Better With You, Disney XD’s Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, and Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place, where she also wrote and choreographed the song "Funky Hat Dance," which became a YouTube sensation with more than a million views and girls internationally uploading videos of themselves and their best friend doing the dance. Weston developed a musical web series for AwesomenessTV and wrote the multi-cam pilot The Fast Track for ABC Family.
Weston is also an award-winning journalist, having written about VR for Ms. Magazine and The New York Post. She currently has three articles on VR slated to be published by peer-reviewed books and journals in 2019. She is a team player, working well with others whether it’s in the pool playing water polo or on stage doing improv. She earned her MFA in screenwriting from USC and her BA in classics cum laude from Princeton.
