More About Me
I have worked in the entertainment business for over twenty years as a producer, writer, director and composer. I have written music, produced hundreds of commercials, two features, promos and trailers for just about every major film and television studio in Hollywood. After selling my first treatment for $80,000 to a major studio I decided to morph into screenwriting full time. I love creating characters and telling stories. I have written 15 screenplays and 2 TV shows.

A movie from a script?
May 30, 2011
Great to see Amazon finally picking a script that could actually turn into a movie. The dialog was good and the descriptive was great. Short, sweet, clear and minimal, just the way it's supposed to be. Good job, you guys. Kudos.

Clever idea does not a movie make.
March 03, 2011
The writing is good. However, have you ever seen mis-spellings, type o’s, bad grammar or whatever on the screen? Duh… it’s a movie not a book. I would buy a poorly written script with a great concept over a beautifully written script with a boring or stupid theme. This was a cute idea, but there is no way in hell anyone is going to produce it. Why? There is no audience, it’s an expensive period piece and it shouldn't even be a movie. If anything, it might make a clever play. Who keeps awarding these prizes to scripts that should never be made into movies?

As with most scripts, the writing is fine, but the theme and or concept is pedestrian.
March 03, 2011
This feels like a movie we have all seen a million times before, featuring some one dimensional (B) movie, action star. The writing is fine, but who's the audience? What makes it new and or fresh? What is it that would compel someone to put down their X Box, get their lazy ass off the couch, drive to the theater and lay out 10 bucks? The judges at Amazon are starting to scar me.

Influences
At one time I met and had people close to Steven Spielberg. I was told that he and I are a lot alike. In fact I wrote him a synopsis that he would have loved but ended up selling it to Carolco pictures for a pant load of money.
