After, she joined the writing team of the feature film version of the same name, and it went into Production in the Spring of 2019. She stars as the lead, and serves as a co-writer and one of the Producers of the film. It was accepted in the SXSW 2020 Film Festival in the Midnighters Narrative Feature competition category.

It had a sold out 3.5 month run, and LA TIMES theater critic Charles McNulty said of her performance: "The production, however, has a secret weapon in Lindsay LaVanchy, who draws out all the sensuality and sadness, the petulance and helplessness of Baby Doll, the 19-year-old virgin... She coos and pouts and stomps around like a fairy tale princess immured in a tower....". He continues, "...LaVanchy allows us to once again hope that maybe this time romance will live up to its promise and quench the lonely longing."As of January 2020 she began Post-Production on her female focused short film, Trying. She served as the co-writer, co-producer, co-director and was one of two female leads. It is now in script development for the feature. She began script development in the fall of 2019 on a Comedy Pilot involving two female friends moving from Texas to Los Angeles to pursue their wildest dreams- no, not Hollywood.
