SCREENPLAYS
Available and Ready to Film
Although I wrote many of my early films, it was a long time before I was ready to call myself a screenwriter. I wrote my first feature-length screenplay in 2007, mostly as an exercise to learn a writer's perspective on the filmmaking process. (That screenplay is too awful to include here!)
Subsequent screenplays have placed in notable writing contests including the BlueCat Screenplay Competition, Page Awards and the Screencraft Fellowship, and have been requested and read by some of the top reps and executives in the industry.

THE GOLEM OF COTOPAXI
SUPERNATURAL WESTERN
While investigating a murder, a pragmatic sheriff discovers that the killer he's after is a creature of legend, and that the key to stopping it lies in the ruins of a Jewish colony in 1880s Colorado.
From a Blacklist evaluation:
"The Golem of Cotopaxi" is an intense and original Western Horror with an inspired high concept... [It] is an exciting, intricate script that starts as a charged mystery and explodes into a supernatural thriller."

These screenplays are unproduced and - in most cases - available.
I also have dozens of loglines, treatments and partly-completed projects - rough diamonds, waiting to be mined.
If you are interested in producing or supporting these projects, I look forward to hearing from you.
