Monitor Gray

In the shadow of a shattered U.S. economy where States are seceding from the Union, one man gains prominence, wealth, and power by defeating a deadly disease through what he claims is the hand of God. Monitor Gray tells of the rise to power of an advanced City-State which promises heaven on Earth for those who are willing to succumb.

Director Statement

This was a labor of love, not intended to win awards but to bring to life 3 stories I wrote many years ago, at a Hollywood level of quality. As much, it was a total success.
