First act of “Nuclear Noddies”
What if Laurel & Hardy were the only people that could stop the Nazi’s atomic weapons project? This is the basis of this dark comedy script I wrote that follows a British waiter, a loveable sap, being thrust into the French Resistance, having to rescue a famed Danish physicist from Nazi capture and destroy the Uranprojekt.

First half of “Untitled (To Be Titled)”
This is a dark comedy about a mother/son duo that use their son’s virtuosic painting talents to forge painters to get out of debt, quickly gaining the attention of enterprising criminals and the FBI’s art forgery division.
First act of “Prepare a Noble Death Song”
This script was an exercise of exposing myself to a genre I don’t usually write in—horror. I wanted to challenge myself in writing a historical horror script with language accurate to the times using Old English and Algonquian dictionaries sourced through digital libraries and research institutions. The script gained some attention, and the project was pitched to a horror film producer. See the pitch deck below.
Logline: A former English slave reluctantly leads a contentious Shawnee-English search party that becomes hunted by a Medusa-like creature, forcing the group to unite to survive.
NOTES:
Dialogue spoken in the Algonquian Saawanooki language is indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the name.
The style of the animation sequence would be a cross between ancient pictographs and Lotte Reiniger’s silhouette animation.
