Screenplays

Here is a list of my spec screenplays and some of the feedback they received on the competition circuit.

They are constant works in progress and some of them have been rewritten since they were scored or are currently undergoing a rewrite.

	The Pelican When a terminally ill woman decides to refuse treatment and leave her unsuspecting family to live out her good days in a remote beach house in Northern California, her husband and grown children set out on a desperate search for their mother based on a photograph of a woman and a pelican. Available as novel. "The story goes into uncomfortable territory of respect, compassion and one's right to choose how they live out their life. It is beautifully written and very well executed." CINEQUEST
	Proof Positive When an accident sends his best friend into a wheelchair and a dangerous, self-destructive tailspin, a desperate high school senior must act fast to prove that there is still a big and beautiful world out there full of places to see and people that care. "Solid script with complex characters." Austin Film Festival "This is an ambitious work - it takes on a tough situation." Academy Nicholl Fellowship Proof Positive was selected to be table-read by The LA Feedback Film and Screenplay Festival. Check out the Intro Scenes.
	Rewind A pragmatic Millennial, struggling with his accidentally acquired ability to get sucked into the darkest, most traumatic memories of random strangers, has to figure out how to use his terrifying visions in a mind-bending race to track down a psychopathic serial killer before he strikes again.
	The Nature of the Beast When a feisty fly claims a turkey sandwich as his own he soon has to defend it against some intrepid competition, but taking his eyes off the prize could cost him more than just a piece of poultry. "Quick paced... Cool little animation for young audiences." Sunday Shorts Film Festival
	Sleeping Lies Having been lied to by the people closest to her, a woman travels to Germany where her search for answers leads her to retrace her grandmother's life during WWII through a series of journals - and fall for the man that is translating them for her. "Solid, heartfelt story with an epic feel to it." - Academy Nicholl Fellowship
	Clarity "When all you can remember is what you’ve been trying to forget." A psychological crime drama involving current hot button issues like homelessness, and mental health. A quest for redemption, a search for purpose, and the determination to repay a debt, all lead their characters into a race against time… and death. "The triggering incident is presented so matter of factly and nonjudgmentally it takes the story to an unexpected level"... "Ultimately, the writer has surprised us and given us a conclusion that is a jolt we are left to imagine" Academy Nicholl Fellowship
