Is there financing out there for an indie heist flick?
I'm an award winning writer with a heist script in the vein of TRUE ROMANCE and FARGO. I'm looking to shoot it next year. It's low budget. Young leads. Funny. Sexy. Thrilling. If you're an interested producer/financer, please contact me. Thank you!

An Asian Sit-Com?!?!
Just finished a single camera, cable sit-com about three Asian brothers (they're Filipino in the script but will settle for funny Asian guys with great chemistry) living in Los Angeles and dealing with race, relationships, and Republicans. It's ENTOURAGE meets ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA. Now my peeps keep asking me are there actors out there that can play the parts AND can get networks/studios interested in the project? Can an Asian sit-com be made and survive? Is there an audience out there?…See More

Script Coverage for action-comedy project, YEAH DUDE I'M A SPY:
"In a market saturated with Apatow-wannabes, this script manages to have raunchy language but maintain its wit and get genuine laughs. The characters and their interaction are strong, often laugh-out-loud funny. The dialogue and situations are consistently funny, and the pace swift."
--- William Morris Agency
Script Coverage for action-comedy project, GEEKS, GADGETS, AND GUNS:
"What engaged this reader was the character work, in particular the relationship between Reily, Benny and Stick. I was so charmed."
---New Line Cinema
"Entertaining characters and some hilarious dialogue made this script a really fun read. The relationship between Benny and Stick felt fully realized. But when they teamed up with Reily, the buddy comedy aspect of this story really started to work well."
---Coverage from Slamdance Screenplay Competition
Script Coverage for spy drama, DEAD LEGENDS:
“This is great stuff. Style like MEMENTO, with the back-stabbing elements. Excellent writing, great characters, off-beat premise, and a good genre mix. A great read.”
---William Morris Agency
“This is a script that reinvigorates the aural component of cinema like no one has since Quentin Tarantino.”
---North By Northwest Entertainment
“The characters are the strongest part of the script. All the dialogue has a strong snap, crackle, and pop.”
----Slamdance Screenplay Competition
- Projects Currently In Development (Title, Film/Television, Status, Budget)
- BRING IT, DADDY!!! --- a crime thriller in the vein of TRUE ROMANCE
THE TECHNICIAN --- an action thriller
BIG HOLE, AZ --- a sci-fi TV pilot
- Dreams & Goals
- My goal is to find and work with collaborators on Film, TV, and Web projects. My dream is to hang out and get drunk with Lauren Graham.
