Logline: True story docudrama – In 1975 Columbus, Ohio, a determined brilliant architect battles the entrenched architectural establishment’s protectionism armed with business acumen and architectural expertise. As they conspire to silence him, he plays three-dimensional chess, drawing on resilience, courage, and a lifetime of overcoming odds. His ultimate move? His invited testimony before a U.S. Congressional Committee, challenging their corruption and protectionism. But victory in the initial battle is just the prelude – the true war awaits. As the architectural profession’s national leadership and its cronies dismiss warnings about the profession’s survival, Stone exposed critical gaps in architectural education and practice that remained unchanged that has cost the profession half its national markets and managerial authority.

A docudrama – possibly similar to The Fountainhead with a true story variation. In 1982 met with Barbara Branden, author of The Passion of Ayn Rand. Had hoped we might coauthor my story, but both of our professional career obligations got in the way.
