Wolves in the Woods 
"Excellent ... surprising and very accomplished"

In addition to the site, there are other
Works in Progress:
In Post-Production: An Original Short Film
SECOND CHAIR, INSIDE: A one act dramatic thriller about two East German émigrés who share an evening ... and a secret that might lead a measured man to murderous extremes.
In Development: A New Horror Screenplay
THE GOLEM: A horror concept that has been rattling around in my head for a long time finally found it’s way out of the darkplace and into the light.
The concept is a loose riff on an old Eastern European mythical creature (that has had many different iterations in the oral and written tradition).
My take is a bit more ... fleshy ... and visceral than its forerunners, and the story takes place in the modern day -- in a Mining Town in Eastern Pennsylvania. But like the earlier stories, the issues of class warfare and intergenerational strife play a large role.
An early draft of the script and an “accidental pitch” have generated interest. I’m totally excited about the possibilities and the material.
I’ll be getting this site ship-shape in the not too distant future. Though, other matters are taking priority at the moment. So, check back for news, and
hopefully a fun web presence in months to come....
