Where are the Heroes for young people today? Characters who manifest integrity. Empowering young people to stand up to bullies & bullying.."If I can do it, you can do it!" If this is not the function of Theatre & the Arts..then what is the function? What we bring to the table will feed another generation.

Wrote an original pilot called Life As Lester which about growing up in a dysfunctional fam and having to deal with being bullied without understanding why. Check it out http://lester-reichert.ning.com/group/teleplays/forum/topics/life-as-lester
The lack of positive roll models was one of the things that motivated me to write the story about Sahara Driver. That and the idea that we all need to take stock about what's important. The story mirrors what is happening around us and how the world is evolving, although it's obviously rather more dramatic. But I hope it will make the reader feel a little more tolerant of the people we share this small planet with.
