Redress – Almost done in time for the Holidays!
I just wanted to let the few people who actually read this stuff know that I have finally finished the long, painful edit of my script for Redress. The editing was long and painful simply because I have had a lot of personal stuff to deal with over the past few months and it has [...]
Redress – This Rewrite is Done!
Whew. I literally finished this rewrite of Redress a few minutes ago, but I am so stoked about it, I had to keep writing…which brings me to this. As of this moment, the script is at 134 pages; the single largest screenplay I have ever completed. I know there are some “pros” out there that can [...]
Redress – Script News – 100 Pages, Finally
It has taken a while, but the screenplay for Redress finally crept across the 100 page mark last night. My target length for the script is about 130 pages for this draft and then I plan to go back and trim the fat back to about 115 pages. For those of you following me on Twitter [...]

Ghost Lights -The Fog is Clearing
So many times I start on a project I can only see glimpses of it through the fog in my brain. There are flashes of characters and scenes all jumbled up and scattered around. Often they come into view when I least expect it, like when I’m eating dinner with the family or deciding which [...]

Well, while I sit around waiting for this economy to get a little better – and by better I mean where people will want to invest in my films again – I am going to start g on the novel for Cinco de Mayo Massacre. As I sat on the script for the last year [...]
Hospital Hill – On Hold
