I've written eight scripts, and I've reached the point where I need someone in my corner who isn't me.

The work is the part I love, and I'll keep writing whether anyone calls back or not. But there's a moment in any screenwriting career where the bottleneck stops being "do I have material" and starts being "who's reading it." I have material. What I need now is access.

So I'm looking for a manager.

Specifically: someone who'll help me find the right agent, who reads the scripts and gets what I'm trying to do, and who can identify actual paths to sale or production — producers looking for what I'm writing, companies with a gap my work fills, financiers when the studio path doesn't fit. The translation work between "this script exists" and "this script is getting made."

What I bring: a real catalog across thriller, drama, and dark comedy. Recurring characters across multiple projects. A point of view shaped by Pittsburgh, PA and Charleston, SC. And a pace that suggests I'm not going anywhere — the next script is already in progress.

If that sounds like you, or like someone you know, I'd love to talk.

Working on LOTZ OF NAZIS.

A Charleston server and her husband — manager of a restaurant secretly tied to a drug ring — steal from their boss and escape by boat, only to wash ashore on a remote island ruled by a reclusive scientist constructing an army of Nazi robots. As hired killers close in, the couple is caught between the vengeance they provoked and a surreal, far more dangerous force they can’t begin to understand.

Updated the PROJECTS page. Loglines, characters, synopses, treatments, and scripts are all up there now. Two years of screenplays are available as downloadable PDFs. It took longer than expected to get this organized, but it's done. Have a look around.

Completed YESSIREE BOB. Took about a month. Not my favorite thing I've written, but the best so far, which is a strange feeling — happy, mostly. Not sure what's next. Going to sit with it for a few days and then start the next one.

Finished the rewrite of YES, ANDROID, I DO CARE. It's based on a feature film I wrote and directed in 2004 titled HEY ANDROID. Twenty-two years is a long time to sit with a story. I thought I was done with it back then, but the bones of it kept rattling around — the amnesiac android, the mission it can't remember, Special Agent Elledge closing in. The 2004 version was what I could pull off at the time with the people and money I had. This rewrite is what I always wanted it to be. Same skeleton, more flesh. Older writer. Going to let it breathe for a week before I look at it again.

Finished the rewrite of AS HE FIRED UP THE DRUM MACHINE, originally written in 1996. Mally is a prostitute who wants out — she's dreaming of the ocean. Champ is her boyfriend, a loser musician going nowhere. She steals drugs from her pimp, and the two of them try to run. That was the story.

In 1997, I bought a Sony VX1000 digital video camera and set out to make it — my first feature, shot in Pittsburgh. Thirty years ago next year. Wild to pull the script back out and see what's still alive in it after all that time.

Finished the rewrite of THE DEMONS ARE HERE, originally written in 2024. Edwin Hershel Goat is a contract killer on the way down — slower, sloppier, running out of road — and the job that lands in his lap is the kind that used to be simple: recover a pile of stolen money from a young couple who don't know what they've stepped into. Drug dealers on one side, the end of the world creeping in on the other. The rewrite cleaned up a lot of what wasn't working in the original draft. Tighter, meaner, funnier in the places it needed to be. 

The plan is to produce and direct this one here in Charleston, provided I can raise the funding. The city has the texture I want — the heat, the marshes, the way the light falls — and I've spent enough time here now to shoot it as it should be shot. More on that as it develops.
