ALL WRONG
An executive battling midlife crisis, a suspect in the assault and brutal
slaying of a young prostitute, is stalked by the girl's father. He intends
to get even. The grief-stricken parent has a watchful eye on the
executive's six-year-old daughter. Guilty or not, somebody's going to pay.
Even if they have to die doing it.
CAT & MOUSE
A working girl wins a bizarre contest. She inherits the talents of a hitman
who kills her ex-boyfriend. Now he's after her.
SECOND WIND
Think of a quarreling couple who haven't a thing in common anymore.
Consider a raging storm and a tornado that just won't go away. Keep in the
back of your mind a fleeting glimpse of a homicidal maniac and a sheriff who
makes his own laws -- all of them deadly. Place these folks in a parallel
word much like our own but oh-so different. And you have something far
beyond 'Twister' and 'Storm Chasers.'

CLASHES
DRAMA
Tom Sterling served his country well. He fought bravely in the 'new
war'
against terrorism and returns a hero. Trouble is, many of the returning
soldiers are treated miserably, like the old Vets of a previous war --
not
that far in the past and that promises not to be forgotten.
With a damaged knee and a Purple Heart decorating his uniform, Tom
Sterling
returns home to discover his wife, JENNI, has been unfaithful to him.
Though he's hurt, he accepts the inevitable and begins to look forward
to
the birth of the child. Strangely, he even begins believing the child
is
really his.
Tom tries to make a new life for himself. He becomes the head of
advertising
for a friend's firm. Trouble is, Tom can't keep the nightmares of the
war
down in his mind. He resorts to hard drugs. Soon after, a government
'no-nonsense team' ensures Tom is cut off medical benefits. America is
not
only involved in a new war but faces a devastating and crippling
economy.
It isn't long before Tom loses his job and the rights to a small
disability
payment.
Jenni has her baby. The baby is black. The father is definitely a man
named
HERV. Herv is also a Muslim. Herv longs to be with Tom's wife and
hates Tom
with a passion that is frightening. He has another reason. He's
sympathetic toward his Islamic brothers, those feeling the might of the
American hammer of justice.
Tom learns he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. He has
nowhere to
turn for help. The government behind closed doors appears to be
frightfully
embarrassed over the Vets who return and can't cope. They want
desperately
and secretly to sweep them under the rug and forget all about them.
Other
vets try and assist Tom to put his past behind him. Tom can't do it. He
can't seem to let go of the atrocities of the new war.
Tom uses a flamethrower to scare a Syrian family on the beach one day.
He's
charged for it. Tom wishes that he never had gone to war. He fully
believes
that if he had ran off to Canada instead of going overseas, life would
be
far much better for him. It isn't long before he begins stealing to
support
a drug habit that makes sure all dreams stay real.
The drugs aren't long in taking their toll. Tom now finds he wants to
die.
When it looks like it's all over for him, his son, JOEY, sees him and
comprehends what his father is doing to himself. Little Joey runs away
in
tears. The shock of it has Tom really taking a hard look at himself for
the
first time in a long time. He begins to shape up ...stays away from
booze
and drugs and starts to get well. He finds employment and earns a
salary as
a cashier at a local grocery.
While out playing mock war (using paintball guns) with other Vets, Herv
invades the game and tries to kill Tom with a flamethrower. Herv
manages to
maim the other Vets involved in the mock war. Tom kills Herv.
Tom is awarded the 'Silver Star.' Finally gets the recognition he
deserves.
Later, Tom goes to see a Vet friend, BELCHER and finds him dead by his
own
hand. He has to talk to somebody about it. He goes to see a couple of
doctors assigned to his case, either Flett or Reynolds. There, he
discovers
another vet, CASEY has gone over the edge. Tom tries to cool him down
but
ends up dying as Casey stabs him.
At the end, Tom's a flag-draped casket awaits burial on a hill.
Overhead,
military jets soar across the sky. America will never be caught
unawares again!

BROOKLYNITES
CRIME DRAMA
26 year old Richie Pisano isn�t all bad, but a lot of people around
him are. In between running a nightclub for Frankie �Chance� (who got his
name by the many chances he takes and the few that he gives), the well
feared, neighborhood mob boss, and Chinese brothel owner and Richie�s
occasional informant, Amelia, Richie has to constantly deal with corrupt
cops, and his trouble prone friends. Streetsmart pool hustler, Nicky,
homicidal card shark, Robbie, and obnoxious craps runner Salvy.
Richie dreams of one day having a safe life possibly with his normal
living girlfriend, Gina, but it all gets shot down once Richie learns
that Robbie and Salvy owe Frankie a lot of money they don�t have. After a
failed attempt to pay Frankie back with his own money from the
nightclub safe, Amelia informs Richie that Frankie plans to kill Robbie and
Salvy, but also that she, her reckless brother and his vicious gang, want
a large chunk of the money in the nightclub safe. Through Nicky�s
criminal connections, Richie�s able to convince Louie, Frank�s former
childhood friend and current nemesis, to help put an end to their problems.
Only a favor from Louie doesn�t go unreturned.
�Brooklynites� is a drama about choosing the right path to follow
either the long way up or the short way down. Keep in mind, this is a
coming of age, slice of life script, not �The Sopranos� or other similar
mafia worshipping themes. The mafia is a mere subplot here. I have a
prequel planned chronicling the early life of Frankie �Chance�, which sheds
some light on Frankie and Louie�s friendship as well as other
characters featured in �Brooklynites�, and a sequel about Frankie�s revenge on
the people who betrayed him. My script is registered with the WGAe
(I16263-00). I�m willing to travel to Los Angeles for meetings and am
willing to accept assignments. Thank you for your time and consideration.
BRIAN
DRAMA
Dante Mancini was your average cold, selfish, philandering, corrupt
five star restaurant owner. That was, until he was reunited with his
sweet, eccentric, fun loving , wise beyond his years, teenage nephew,
Brian; the son of his sister, who has died of a drug overdose granting Dante
temporary custody since Brian�s father has abandoned them.
While taking harsh criticisms from his ex-wife, Elizabeth concerning
their son, Charlie�s ambitions to follow in his father�s footsteps, the
often overwhelmed Dante is reluctant to take Brian in, but Brian soon
grows on him, prompting Dante�s son, Charlie, to become jealous.
Charlie and Brian bond eventually, however, complications ensue when
Dante learns that Brian�s heart and brain are smaller than normal as a
result of his parents� drug use and can result in death. Brian brings a
warmth to Dante�s estranged family, and manages to bring them closer
together.
Just as things are going well, Brian�s father suddenly comes back into
the picture, clean as a whistle, demanding custody of his son, which
Dante refuses to give. A court battle ensues and Brian�s father is
eventually granted custody after Dante�s extramarital affairs as well as
other past incidents come to surface. Dante attempts to wake Brian the next
morning to go with his father, only to find that Brian had died
overnight due to his ailments. Despite what doctors said, Dante knew that
Brian�s heart was bigger than anybody�s he�s ever known.
�Brian� is a drama about how an ill, but observant teenager
revitalizes a distraught man, his bitter ex-wife, and a confused son into being a
family again, teaching them to depend on each other. This script can be
reminiscent to the likes of �Mask� and other slice of life type films.
My script is registered with the WGAe: I23161. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
ANARCHY
DRAMA
Friends and former marines, Martin Vaughn and Joe Coleman go for a
night out from NYC to Long Island with their friends, political Katie,
free spirited Jenna, and light hearted Eddie. Little do they know, it�s
going to be the last time they have such fun for a while. While sleeping
over at Joe�s house, Iraq invades New York City, blowing up the U.N.
building, neutralizing American troops, and sabotage Air Force One,
causing it to crash into the ground.
They wake up the next morning to find the land in chaos; looting,
riots, etc. In order to get back to the city, against Joe�s wishes, Martin
recruits Barry; a fellow marine who tends to name his wide variety of
guns.
After rescuing his young daughter, Jessica, from a crowded subway,
Martin discovers that the Iraq military is inhabiting the subway tunnels.
Two years pass, The Brooklyn Bridge is closed down due to the
destruction of many buildings in downtown Manhattan, train tracks have been
constructed across the East and Hudson Rivers, and all sorts of fighting
and personal wars go on throughout. Martin has tired of fighting and
attempts to live like a regular citizen while raising Jessica. Joe
eventually joins the Iraq military, wanting Martin to join him. Martin refuses
several times, frustrating Joe, leading him to believe that Martin
might rise against him. Martin had no plans to do so until the Iraqi�s
behead Jenna, prompting Martin to exert brutal revenge.
Martin loses sight of who he is as he hunts down the ten or so men,
brutally killing them. Upon doing this, Martin finds he had gained
unwanted followers, supporting him to lead a fight for democracy. Upon the
followers are Katie, Eddie and Barry. As time goes on, Martin comes to
realize that he�s becoming a cold, brutal killer�something he�s always
despised. Martin discovers that the President of the United States, who
was not on the Air Force One when it crashed, is going along with Iraq
in order to stay alive. Former President Wilson, who is currently hiding
in a secret bunker, enlists Martin to help her take back the country.
�Anarchy�, my 8th and far from final screenplay, is neither a pro nor
anti-war story. It�s a story of how war can separate close friends, but
can change an entire lifestyle if not properly dealt with. It also
describes how some people don�t truly value what they have until they lose
it. This script is a mere opinion of what could happen if we, as a
country, let things go too far before it gets too big to stop it. My script
is registered with the WGAe: I26434 and is ready for submission. Thank
you for your consideration.

THE LAST GUNFIGHT
WESTERN
This Western version of "The Color of Money" is the story of a
notorious aging gunfighter, Mark Slade, who mentors a young up-and-coming
gunfighter, Lee Craft. The older gunfighter, along with the young gunfighter
and his tag-along girlfriend, Cass Sloan, take on a relationship
similar to the trio in the 1986 film, "The Color of Money."
Mark David Slade is known to his two companions as David Slater to
protect his true identity from Lee, who wants to find and kill Slade. Mark
Slade is tired and tormented by endless challengers and wants to end
his torment by someday being outdrawn and killed. Lee Craft, who has
known of Slade's fame since childhood and has looked upon him as an icon;
but Lee now wants to hunt Slade down and kill him in order to take on
the title of the �fastest gun.� Lee doesn't know what Slade looks like
and is unaware that his newfound friend David Slater is the man he wants
to kill. Cass Sloan, who was spirited away by Lee from her saloon girl
job in Sacramento � now finds herself slowly falling in love with Lee,
who is too obsessed with finding and killing Slade to realize love.
The trio has many adventures and harrowing experiences along the way.
They are immersed in history: including mysterious places, historic
legends, and acts of trickery and deception. The story includes bits of
history, locales, and real characters inserted as sidelines rather than
main points of interest: including Wild Bill Hickok; his deputy Mike
Williams; his girlfriend Jessie Hazel; Phil Coe, his rival for Hazel's
attention; the Alamo and Bullshead saloons in Abilene, Kansas; the Golden
Eagle saloon in Sacramento; seven authentic members of a real gang of
train robbers; Wells Fargo; Pinkerton Detective Agency; and, finally:
The City of Rocks in southern Idaho and the juncture of the California
Trail; the Oregon Trail; the Immigrant Trail; and Salt Lake Alternative
trail.
The story begins in Carson City, Virginia City, and Sacramento in the
late 1800s, moves to the Central Pacific steam locomotive railroad line
across northern Nevada and Utah between Reno and Promontory Point �
with some action extending into southern Idaho in the City of Rocks area
(with particular attention toward the Twin Sisters and Window Arch rock
structures). Next, the action moves to Abilene, Kansas, which was
nicknamed "The Wickedest Town in the West."
This story will provide audiences with lasting memories from a wide
spectrum of entertainment stimuli: including intriguing characters,
storyline, and settings; scenic rugged panaromic views accompanied by rich
powerful orchestrated music scores, and current-day Grammy Award-winning
music tracks and classic music tracks to add heart to the emotional
scenes. The story combines powerful western action
scenes, subtle humor, a love story similar to "Pretty Woman." It
includes lively stories of two gunfighters, their relationship as mentor and
student, and the ultimate revelation of deception and a life-long
secret.
