Short Summary
Hello and thanks for reading! I have spent the past three years working to create this short film that I wrote, directed, and produced. It has been a deeply satisfying and very personal labor of love -- so much so that the project has launched an hour-long pilot script and series concept (which has been a finalist in several of the major screenwriting competitions.)
My producing partner D.D.R. (Dez) Stewart and I have put countless hours of work into this project, writing, re-writing, shooting, editing...most of it in the midst of a global pandemic. It has not come easily, but we are extremely excited about what we have to show for it.
The exciting news is that we are ALMOST finished with the film's post production. I've spent about $10,000 of my own money to get to this point. The next step is getting the film out there into the world so that I can use the film as a springboard to pitch my pilot and the television series ODE TO PSYCHE to Networks like NETFLIX, HULU, AMAZON PRIME, and HBO.
IN ADDITION, My one-hour PILOT script, ODE TO PSYCHE, was just named a finalist in the SCREENCRAFT PILOT COMPETION, and is currently ranked as the #4 one-hour sci fi pilot of all time on COVERFLY.

The Impact
This is a tough time for artists. And yet shows like THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT, SQUID GAMES, and SUCCESSION have helped keep many of us entertained and inspired during our darkest months. This is a chance to be a part of the beginning of the next riveting new series as we launch it into the world.
