Logline: While housesitting for friends, two young coeds learn that you shouldn't always investigate things that go bump in the night.
"Bump" was written as part of a series of horror shorts that could be shot in one day. I originally intended to shoot it under Whispering Daemon Productions after we knocked out Newborn.
In the meantime, Hawaii-based director Martin Troy read a few of my scripts and reached out to me to collaborate on a new project. While I was working on that script, Martin sent me this email:
"I have this killer clown mask, two actresses, a big creepy house, and my 7D for the weekend. I'm just dying to put them to use. Any ideas?"
How could I say no?
You can check out "Bump" on YouTube. Martin knocked it out of the park!

Genre - Mystery
Logline: A struggling young single mother is tempted by a very unique charity offering a solution to all of her problems.
I wrote this in one week for the first round of the NYC Midnight Screenwriting Challenge (2010). The writers in my heat had to write a mystery about a charity.
There were 17 other writers in my heat, and the writers moving on to the final round will be announced on June 1st.

Logline - A group of post-apocalyptic survivors try to one-up each other over a game of cards, sharing horrific stories from their past.
This short was written and produced by Backward Slate Productions over a two-day period as part of the Columbus 48 Hour Film Project.
Unfortunately, our render ran long and we didn't make the submission deadline. Fortunately, we were able to spend more time cleaning up the edit, turning out a pretty impressive piece of work.
In addition to working as a camera operator and editor on the project, I co-wrote
the script with Max Groah, Todd Russell, Bryan Arnold, and Daniel Alan Kiely.
