Made a short Hitchcockian style thriller film (title: 10 O'Clock) in 1965 (age 16) with my brother but it was to be another 50 years before starting on the Bombshell screenplay. Yuri Joakimidis is one of my dialogue polishers but mainly acts as agent. Bombshell (working title) => The Kaiserhof Hotel (most probable title) is a true story in essence with some embellishment.
