My aim is to entertain and inspire with inexpensive stories.
BIO: I worked 44 years as an international executive and financial analyst. For 18 months, I have been mining my raw, absurd right-brain to write screenplays that bring positive energy to fill negative voids in the universe. My aim is to entertain and inspire with inexpensive stories.
EXPERIENCE: I have written and published more than 50 (paid) articles on financial subjects. I was writer and publisher of two monthly newsletters for several years: STOCK ACTION and the MENSA INVESTORS NEWSLETTER. I have completed three screenplays:
BEANCOUNTER (1st Rewrite): A cold, analytic tycoon, awakened to new feelings and old regrets by a left-brain stroke, gets a do-over in a rust belt town, helping a troubled woman in jeopardy of losing her family business to shady developers. A Family Holiday Drama Feature
"The concept was sweet and unique…The plot was well thought out and endearing…a very nice script that has a lot going for it." Roadmap Top-Tier Contest Finalist, 2018
"An endearing family film featuring a well-crafted protagonist, a heartwarming friendship and poignant themes." Screencraft Coverage
TARGET MARKET: Television – HALLMARK, LIFETIME, NETFLIX. Not marketed.
JOBY (1st Draft): A devout, runaway farm boy, with tenuous control over his superpower to conjure thunderstorms, approaches manhood in ‘60s Vegas and struggles with his rusting moral compass and duty to punish sinners. A Coming-of-Age Fantasy Series Pilot
"An intriguing almost noir-ish approach to a “superpowered person” story...in a three-dimensional world full of delight and danger." Four Stars (of five): International Screenwriters Association
TARGET MARKET: Television - AMC, NETFLIX, AMAZON, etc. Not marketed.
SHADY’S LAST STAND (1st Rewrite): A broke-down cowboy goes all in on a bar that gets cut off by a border wall, so he must wage a one-man war against corrupt politicians and a drug lord for his livelihood and the independence of his new country. A Satirical Comedy Feature
"An unassuming feel good story…smart…odd…fresh…well-written…a sleeper hit. The script weaves a tight, fun story that had me intrigued until the end. CONSIDER." Coverfly Coverage
TARGET MARKET: Big Screen. NEW
