I'd like to introduce myself to the group. I am an Author/Screenwriting with two film projects that I am seeking advice for securing financial backing for: The Hester Street Kids, drama thriller screenplay adaptation of my soon to be released novel of the same name. Logline: "The feisty daughter of a Little Italy pharmacist learns of her father's secret prominence in the New York Mob. Her discovery unravels lies and treachery that stir her very existence and risk her search for love.” And, the screenplay adaption of my new book "Schism" which is in the final editing stage. Slated for publication Early 2015. Logline: “The spirit of a stubborn Civil War era teenager is teamed up in Purgatory with the spirit of an infuriating 1960's stockbroker. Both suspect that God has a mysterious purpose for them. He does.”
