I fell in love with movies after seeing "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and once I volunteered to be the film critic for my high school newspaper, my fate was sealed.
It didn't take me long to decide I wanted to try telling stories of my own on the big screen, so I picked up Syd Field's "Screenplay".
Many years and several scripts later, I find myself drawn to stories that exist mostly in the real world with one or two supernatural elements. These stories often feature institutions, both public and private, that have failed and feature protagonists struggling what to do in face of that failure.
