From the control room of Community TV of Santa Cruz, had to step in as technical director last Friday night for a live interview show with a musical act. Somehow I managed to get it done with help from the crew around me.

Four other short plays and monologue will also be performed at the show. Hacks is based on a short story I wrote in 2021 (link here) and is about two out of touch screenwriters from old Hollywood who are clueless about modern values.

My one act drama Yellow Roses just had three performances by the New York Theater Festival at the Hudson Guild Theater on June 5, 7, and 8, and I'm thrilled to see another of my works performed off-off-Broadway. I was at the June 5 debut and I was impressed by what the actors brought to their roles, they expressed the frankness and sometimes emotional rawness of their character's wants.

TWENTY Now On YouTube

Twenty, a feature film I co-wrote with the director Hilary Davidson, is now on Stash Sci-Fi's YouTube channel and can be viewed here: Four friends; an early adopter, a skeptic, a luddite, and a socialite, glitch into an alternate universe where the 2020s merge into the 1920s.…
TWENTY Now On YouTube
Twenty, a feature film I co-wrote with the director Hilary Davidson, is now on Stash Sci-Fi's YouTube channel and can be viewed here: Four friends; an early adopter, a skeptic, a luddite, and a socialite, glitch into an alternate universe where the 2020s merge into the 1920s. Instead of a prohibition on alcohol, there is a prohibition on private communication, and when technology tests their friendships they learn who to trust and who is out to deceive them. It was a pleasure to work on this film and hope it gets many views.

This play got a staged reading last August 17th by the Equity Library Theater and now it'll get a production with most of the same cast.

More positive recognition for my screenplay Second Time Around (based on a stage play I wrote). It's a boy meets girl story set in San Francisco with interesting side characters. Hope to film it someday. Currently giving it a rewrite based on suggestions from professional reader.
