MyOriginalScreenplays

  1. The Adventures of Kim And Fab (Siblings who go to college together discover a time machine that takes them and their friends back to the 70's) 2. El Camino (Inspired by the little rock nine, this story is about two high school bands who bring their city together during the civil rights movement. Each song the bands preform is from the 2013 album El Camino by The Black Keys.) 3. Extra ((Extra is about an African american actor whose been in films for about twenty years, but only as an extra. A successful African american director whose actually a fan of his influential yet minimal roles, seeks him out to be in his upcoming film "Mac" (a reimagining of the Shakespeare play Macbeth) starring in the lead role. The pressure of being in a lead role for the first time takes a positive (and later negative) toll on him as he prepares for the role, his growing fame (being a lead African american actor in a Shakespearean film, the world embraces it because it is a positive change from the stereotypical films and roles black actors are usually given. And because he's one of the many African Americans whose been in the game for years but has never gotten their big break up until this point.) He struggles with temptation as he tries to work things out with his girlfriend and curve his adoring female fans. Just like the story of Macbeth, his power and fame drives him into madness but in the end he survives all his obstacles, keeps his girlfriend, and learns the true meaning of success. ) 4. Connect (Connect is a story about an African american man in inner city Los Angeles and his connection with an Italian mobster from 1960's Brooklyn New York.)

Thank you! With all the issues going on in our society I think my films can bring people together especially when it comes to race relations...
