| Happy Birthday (short) A man is cursed to go backwards in years every birthday that he is unable to complete the rite of passage that is blowing out the candles on the cake. It's about the oddities of this tradition in our country as being witnessed first-hand by a man who has "de-aged" to a point where he is younger than his own daughter. To help with the irony, he's a smoker with a nasty cough and therefore, ever decreasing candle-blowing power. |

| Shelly's Story (feature)(about half way through 1st draft) A woman who is a victim of domestic abuse suspects her husband of killing a well-respected member of the community. Can she rely on the support of her best friend and a pushy social worker to help determine how evil her husband really is? After a long sabbatical, I'm going to pick the pen back up on this project. A Measure of Madness (feature)(being written) Former friends of a young man tell their version of his road to insanity. But who's to say that he's the crazy one? Big Bad Richard (short) (not in production) A truly unlikeable guy gets what's coming to him in a story that proves "what goes around comes around." |

48 Hour Film Project (completed) (director) The Touch Well, we did it... more or less. We had some technical difficulties that we knew about but didn't have time to address. We also had some bigger problems that we didn't know about until the screening <gasp>. should be available in the not-too-distant future. |

| Seven Rivers Crossing (in post) (actor) A couple who are trying to salvage their marriage go to the family cabin on the mountain. But they aren't the only ones going there. A man stumbles upon the cabin, claiming to be running from psychotic hunters. But is he to be trusted? The only way to find out is to go back inside and go separate ways. |

| National Film Challenge (completed) (director) Prime Mate Thank you to everyone who contributed to this strange but wonderful project. It was a smashing success. We really appreciate the contributions of everyone on the team. There are now pictures available. Prime Mate is a story about a ventriloquist who falls in love with a mime, only to have his plans dashed by a magician. It's your typical love triangle involving brutal kids and a finicky monkey. |

| LCI: The Forgotten Ship (in post?) (DP) A documentary about the WWII personnel ship that changed the war without being recognized. A combination of interviews, re-enactments and footage of the beautifully restored ship. |

| Snuff (completed) (actor) A woman awakens in a shed with a bump on her head & a speaker telling her the absurd: She is in a snuff film where she will be hunted by several predators. Director Patrick T Gerke creates a gritty world in which the woman must not only fend for her life, but also confront human nature and what it is capable of. |
