Projects in Development

 

Think inspired. Think beyond the beyond...

NEW!! In Progress: Ghost of a Chance - How does a psychic manage to conduct a reasonable relationship when her partner expects she always knows what he's thinking? This charming romantic comedy takes a look a modern relationships with an added twist. Very quirky and hugely funny with a look at non-relationship life events that paint the landscape of one's relationship attitudes.

The Pacific Rim Mythology Scripts... When astronomers named the "planet" Sedna, Whale Rider and Corpse Bride released. Both films clearly related the intricate mythology of Sedna. Now we have three new bodies, two named planets, Eris and Makemake, and one unnamed planet with a proposed name of Hawaiian origin. As it often goes with film, entertainment cracks the egg of consciousness, relating important culturally impactful myths. In development, I have a trilogy of scripts that will portray the myths of Eris, Makemake (with an infusion of Sedna) and the body known as Santa Claus, which will hopefully take its name in August 2008. If any company wants to get onboard with developing this series, what a fecund time we are enjoying for such stories.

Documentary: Wahconah: The Jewel of Baseball's Eden - When a document from 1791 was found in Pittsfield, Massachusetts regarding playing baseball (spelled bafeball), my home town assumed the claim of being the seat of baseball in America. Wahconah Park, built in 1892, was the premiere park in town. Resurrected from pending razings, surviving floods and political silliness, this grand park boasts a field that saw the likes of Chief Bender, Satchel Paige, Casey Stengel, Lou Gerhrig, Greg Maddox and Mark Grace. We trace the park's history, political shenanigans and a nefarious campaign by General Electric to dispose of PCB's and dang near kill the hopes of baseball and the town. Already attached for interview: Jim Bouton and Bill "Spaceman" Lee. More attachments will be pursued after the World Series.

I have two other baseball documentaries ideas in development, but given the surge of such films appearing on HBO, Showtime and ESPN, I'll keep these under my baseball cap for the time being.

If none the posted loglines and scripts above pique your interest, let me know what you're looking to produce. There just might be a match in my file drawer full of story ideas.
