PEOPLE MAKING DANGER: Fun three-act, feature-length stories, full of suspense, surprises and dark humor. All told in the present tense. Like reading a movie. 

THE QUIET ONES (Thriller) - A girl goes missing, families fall apart and neighbors grow together with the help of their friendly local serial killer. 

OPERATION DRAGONHEAD ( 50's Sci-Fi Satire) - Mistaking experimental Eisenhower-era Army communication helmets for alien antennae during a surprise training maneuver, rural townsfolk launch an improvised defense. Based on a true story.

HIGH DESERT (Muscle Car Western) - A rotten Sheriff and reluctant hero settle old family scores beyond the reach of the law, with fast cars for horses.

PAGANINI (Historical Fiction) - The wicked life of an actual nineteenth-century violinist, who played so beautifully, and broke so many hearts, they thought he must be the devil.

YARDLEY COUNTY ( Redemption Drama) - A dead escaped convict finds himself, and his redemption, at the hometown robbery where a gunshot began his criminal career. 

BONUS: VALLEY FOOTBALL (Sports Comedy) - Existentially lost grownups start a secret late night tackle football club in the suburbs. 

BONUS: THE TROP (Farce) - This aging, and somewhat haunted, East Hollywood motel has rooms at reasonable rates for struggling stock characters on the down-and-out.

LIGHTS ALONG THE INTERSTATE: Interwoven stories measure humanity's progress on a rumbling cross-country bus . . . A retirement home escapee is off to parts unknown. The Devil quits, he’s in love with a waitress. Unexpected gunshots create late-night companions. A traveling salesman gets to choose his own place in the Universe. A wandering ex-priest looks for answers between the lines of a legal pad. Somebody's flinging pennies at a naked businessman and she's not at all sorry it hurts. Stranded, a student finds himself, and dinner, in the middle of nowhere. A drunk widow skips the service. A long overdue family reunion solves nothing and resolves everything. Two lost kids the age of grownups decide something big for the rest of us. And the Bus Driver, all he's praying for is a good night's sleep.
