'LONDON' is in town!

After 5 months of searching for a actress who would be bold enough to take on the role of 'London' in the up coming feature 'I am the Beauty of this World', the search is over! I am happy to announce that actress Samanta Castilho has been cast as the streetwalker 'London'.

Production begins May 2014.

Novel in the works...

I will be adapting a script I completed back in 2000 into a novel beginning early next year. Its overall about the lives of young adults living in New York. The story interweaves various relationships, very Altmanesque if you will. I was intrigued by storytellers who told stories with a big ensemble. I started writing novels when I was a teenager but have stopped to focus on screenwriting. Its going to be a thrill to get back to writing a novel. It's untitled so for now it'll be called the untitled Young Adults novel.

Love story on the web!

'Fumeu [me+u+future]' is the latest work of mine done for a wonderful web series called Ms. Monologue. The creator/producer of the web series is Latresa Baker. She is also the lead actress in 'Fumeu'. She emailed me one night after meeting at a network party and offered me this position to direct and write a episode for her web series. Long story short I said yes and after days of revisions on the script and finding a lead man, whom I only had one leading man in mind to play the role, no rehearsal, meetings with cast and crew, one day of shooting, in the cold on the rooftop, that went into the night. And out came what you will see on the link below.

'Fumeu' is a modern day love story. Enjoy and tell others!
