5 lbs of Pressure
(former titles "We Shall Be Forgiven" & "The Mirror")
A twisted journey of desperation, disaster and destiny, 5 lbs of Pressure follows the lives of three men during a New York transit strike. Adam is trying to start over and put his past behind him. Ray is out to settle a score that has haunted him for years and Mike has twenty-four hours to save his own life. 5 lbs of Pressure begs the question “who are we without our habits, obsessions and addictions?” Our characters are in a struggle between hope, reality, and ultimately, themselves.

Currently in development with producer Steve Carr

Margate - Dying to See You
Guilted by his overdramatic mother, Tom travels to a trailer park in Florida to visit his dying uncle and spend some quality time with his insane family. A black comedy about a man who is guilted by his mother to journey to Margate, Florida and visit a dying uncle. Tom dreads the trip because he has to deal with the rest of the insane family that he's embarrassed to be part of. Uncle Tony's a compulsive liar, imposter and thief who claims he's a doctor. Uncle Frank still lives with his parents and anger is his best personality trait. Tom's mother Mary is an overprotective control freak, his grandmother a shameless flirt and so on. To make matters worse, Tom's girlfriend Karen thinks his reluctance to have her meet them is due to his lack of commitment and she insists on going with him.
