LETTER TO SANTA is a low budget, family-friendly comedy about a mysterious stranger who brings Christmas magic to a 35-year-old Long Island woman & her family.
CELESBIANS - 2 gal pals become a media sensation when their love story, an interracial high school romance rekindled after 12 years, goes viral. Only trouble is, they're not really lesbians. (Comedy about a DREAMer's exploits to avoid deportation, co-written w/P.J.)
NO ONE'S EVEN BLEEDING (only 4 locations) is a comedy about public education that should convince most parents to send their kids to private school!
Like comedies a bit darker? Ask me about SALE PENDING, a story about the misery of home ownership, bad bosses, crazy neighbors & ex-wives.
