It's a character driven dramedy like Orange Is the New Black, but instead of being set in a prison, it's set in an abortion clinic. We interviewed 8 women and 1 man and dramatized their stories. They are funny, sad, awkward, surprising, and most importantly, normal.

Story
About The Project
One in three women have abortions.
Many years ago, Margaret Katch and Roni Geva became that statistic. During that time, they each looked for stories in the media to relate to, but there were almost none.
To this day, the subject is often presented as incredibly fraught when it is shared in the media and there are limited perspectives.
In 2016, Geva and Katch decided to create a project with many different women's voices. They interviewed 8 women and 1 man about their experiences, and then dramatized their stories. This resulted in the script for ctrl alt delete.
Each story is connected to the next by the same clinic and the staff who work there.
Two of the episodes have been shot and edited, but the remaining 8 (including the pilot, which ties everyone together) need to be made.
The goal of this series is to begin normalizing this conversation through storytelling and the media.
Meet the cast!
Naomi Grossman (Pepper on American Horror Story) stars as Lorna, a regular at the clinic, based on a real person (believe it or not).

Current Team
About This Team
Roni and Margaret hail from the Chicago theater scene. They met through work and then moved out to Los Angeles (separately) to begin persuing their dreams of working in TV and film.
Their collaboration began in 2015, with the short film: To Fall in Love With Anyone, Play This Game, which has been making the rounds on the festival circut.
They both just wanna keep making--and being in--art that inspires them and tells important stories.
ctrl alt delete has an all-women crew, including producer Kate Fendon and DP Jessica Gallant. This crew completely rocked the shoot, even wrapping early!
We are excited to continue creating paid opportunities for women!
