Hoziermusic Stories

Two women are forced to be reborn again and again as they fight to prove their love defies time, mortality, doctrine, and whatever control the afterlife deity ever believed he possessed over Bea and Francesca's fate. Inspired by Dante's "Inferno" and Hozier's song, "Francesca," this story was written as a mirror for my beloved fellow queers to see themselves and their lived experiences lovingly and respectfully represented in media. I also hope this story serves as a window for allies and soon-to-be allies to glimpse the very real fears, hopes, dreams, and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. I was able to present Andrew Hozier-Byrne a copy of this exact script during his concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, on August 1, 2025. He spoke with me about this story and accepted the copy as a gift! The proof-of-concept short film, "Francesca," was released on February 16, 2026. A rewrite of the feature-length script will begin over the next year or two, with eventual efforts to produce the feature film. My story is for the Beas and Francescas of the world. For those who navigate the winding paths of self-discovery and love with a hopeful heart. May you always find the strength to be authentically you, to love fiercely and without apology, and to know that your story (in all its beautiful complexity) is worthy of being told and, most importantly, worthy of being lived.
