Welcome,
I’m a first -time screenwriter who has almost finished (is it really ever finished?) my first screenplay. I have years of research, photos, articles, and records that support these stories. At this stage of life, I'm not looking for a new career, though I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. But I'd certainly like to get a base hit and see if I can steal Home.
I've 3 projects. Click on the Loglines below for more info on each:
BRIDGE OF SIGHS- A feature length period piece set in turn of the century NYC. Based on a true story.
THE DANDY- An adaptation of the feature into a limited TV series.
VMF-322: OKINAWA- A World War II based historical drama.
I'm seeking representation, collaboration, and conversation.
Enjoy the Spotify Playlist link below!
Cheers
