Screenwriting and Directing

Screenplays and Film Projects

Short Films

I have made three shorts since 2003. The first, "Superman XIII: We'll Always Have Metropolis," was filmed in Chicago as part of the NYC Midnight Moviemaking Madness Short Film Competition. In 2005, I started out making "Kobayashi Maru" for the same competition, but my team dropped out of the running in order to make a longer film.

In between, I received a grant from the city of Chicago to produce an animated short, "Flowerbox," the story of a boxer with a strange birth defect who gets mixed up with the mob.

Writing for Screen & Television

Since the late 1990s, I have been honing my skills as a writer for film and television. My first scripts were part of a sketch comedy show I worked on with several friends in New York. Unfortunately, since most of us ended moving up to different cities, nothing ever came of "The Short Bus." But I have since had the chance to expand on some of the ideas I dreamed up then, and I have even directed and produced as shorts some of the longer sketches I wrote for the show.

My biggest screenwriting project to date has been Elysian Fields. I have also taken part in a number of screenwriting competitions. Soon I also hope to add to this site the treatments I have written for two other features, Fear in a Handful of Dust and The Men Who Sold the World.
