I have been receiving a good amount of interest in my short screenplay thriller, ”The Plea Agreement” since I posted the logline on Inktip.com a couple months back. I have received a couple of offers to purchase it from independent directors and producers but declined since I foresee a larger future for a “high concept” that it is. I did have one award-winning director recently requested it as well. This person has also recently released a horror DVD feature and is second unit directing on a highly popular TV show. I was quite excited about the prospect of this director actually wanting to read my script. I was hopeful that he would make me an offer on The Plea Agreement. I was disappointed to hear that the story didn’t grab him… but he did like my writing and asked for other short scripts of mine. Unfortunately, I have no other completed shorts to offer at this time. It was nice to hear from an up and coming director that my writing appealed to him.

Another positive step is that another director saw the same Inktip logline and contacted me about needing horror shorts for a webseries he’s creating. A few days later, I awoke with a concept and later that day, I completed a short called “A Twin Killing” and submitted it for consideration. I later found out that this director was getting up to a hundred submissions a day for this project. I am happy to announce that my script is under serious consideration for either the first 10 episodes or for future use. I am hopeful to get my first writing credit on this project. Stay tuned.

A while back, I completed a first draft of my first feature, “Hostile Conscience”, a psychological thriller. I wrote this script with Giovanni Ribisi in mind as the lead character. It is my hope someday that he will read it. I think this script has promise but, but I will need to sit down and do a re-write at some point. I think my writing has become noticeably better since I wrote it. I also would like to finish my second feature “Expiration Date”. I am about 3/4 of the way completed on the first draft. I think this one has a great deal of potential, I just need to afford the time to finish it.

The final unfinished writing project that I am hoping to work on soon is the first installment of the Mortis Rigor comic/horror series. I have a few scenes written and am happy with the start but haven’t had the time to get back to it in several months. Hopefully, Mortis will gain a fan base and the demand for his story will force me to write it. A man can dream can’t he?
