About Me

FIRST, HBO, NOW... MTVNs LOGO --- WE'RE BACK ON TV!
Watch us on LOGO's wildly popular "Click List: Best in Short Film." The film debuted Nov. 19th, 2008 and will run on the channel periodically. Or you can watch it here anytime at LOGO's online TV site:
http://www.logoonline.com/shows/events/short_films/details.j html?cid=1599583
The countdown finale aired on LOGO at 9pm on December 17th, 2008 - and HAPPENSTANCE was unveiled as NUMBER ONE!!!! --- the WINNING FILM!

Thanks to everyone who watched and voted - we love you!
HAPPENSTANCE was one of CURVE Magazine's picks for best women's short films in 2007! And it has won two Best Female Short Film awards at film festivals in DC and LI.
HAPPENSTANCE, the latest short film by Emmy-award winning writer/director Joyce Draganosky, aired on HBO On Demand during June 2007. It was a winner of the first ever HBO LGBT short film competition called SHOUT. HBO also showed it in their partner film festivals - Miami, PTown and Outfest. Now, it is playing on LOGO (see above) and still at select film festivals to excellent reviews.
HAPPENSTANCE is a sizzling, sexy, six-minute movie. It's the story of a woman who discovers she has a lot in common with her son's new girlfriend.
Look - nothing more can be revealed about the plot because it IS only a six minute flick --- don't want to ruin the story --- but you can expect this: Beautiful women and titillating twists!
HAPPENSTANCE stars some of the best talent in the film and television business: Margaret Colin (Unfaithful, Independence Day, The Devil's Own, The Butcher's Wife), Jay O. Sanders (Half Nelson, Tumbleweeds) Eisa Davis (The Wire) and John Driscoll (The Guiding Light.)
Check back here often for updates.
HAPPENSTANCE was made by HOLLYWON'T films, a division of HOLLYWON'T productions - Joyce Draganosky's film and video enterprise who mission is simply to create good stories well told. Contact the company at [email protected]

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


YOU! Anyone and everyone who likes movies... other filmmakers, actors, writers, directors, producers, artists, people with a sense of humor, people who believe in karma and women with good haircuts.

OH RIGHT - and if you are interested in backing the filmmaker with, you know, money... so that she can make the feature film version of this short, which will be the best film ever made, please be in contact!

SERIOUSLY --- the feature film version of this short is anxiously waiting to be made and the filmmaker(s) are interested in hearing from serious parties. The completed feature length screenplay is great. It was chosen for IFP's Project Involve, and later selected for the IFP Market. It's been mentored, advised, rewritten (a lot) and rewarded. So, it's ready! Serious investors, production companies, additional producers, etc. and any other angels should contact [email protected].
