THE SUPER FANTASTIC WORLD OF BOB - Original Screenplay- Fantasy/Family/Coming-Of-Age - Finalist
When his parents' divorce upends his carefully ordered routine, an autistic boy obsessed with comic books must break his own hero's code and join the C.R.E.W. (the Commanders of Recess Engaged in Wickedness), a gang of playground bullies he sees as supervillains, on a mission to ruin his school's Halloween party and steal the "magical" iPod he believes can reunite his family.
A TRUE STORY - Adapted Screenplay- Drama/Indie
A failed writer visiting NYC overhears the story of Wakefield, a man who left his wife for what was meant to be a one-week trip, then spent twenty years living one block away, watching his old life from a distance, for no good reason at all.
Obsessed with filling the gaps in Wakefield's story, the writer finds he cannot return home to his own wife until he uncovers the truth, even if he has to write the truth himself.
Based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Wakefield." Not actually a true story.
DOOM AND BLOOM - Half-Hour Pilot - Comedy/Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Animation
When budget cuts gut the Department of Future Assurance, the task of preventing the apocalypse falls to the secret government agency's last two employees: Daisy Bloom, a relentlessly optimistic civil servant, and the self-proclaimed doomer Thomas Dunn, her new, completely unqualified nepo-boss.
