Logline: A struggling young single mother is tempted by a very unique charity offering a solution to all of her problems.

Genre - Western

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.

Logline - When Hannah's son is kidnapped, her journey for the truth raises questions she isn't ready to answer.

I wrote this short over the course of a week for round 1 of the NYC Midnight Screenwriter's Challenge (2009).  The writers in my heat had to write a mystery where the subject was an egg (or eggs).

I was originally leaning toward a Da Vinci Code / National Treasure short featuring a Faberge egg, but I opted instead for something much more intimate.

This short features Hannah, a young mother addicted to heroin.  It centers around the kidnapping of her young son, Max, and around her efforts to be a good mother while struggling with her addiction.

So where do the eggs come into play?  What's the mystery?
