Good Odds (Feature Film/Romantic Comedy) A quirky, romantic comedy along the lines of “Big” and “Little Miss Sunshine”. As a surprise birthday present, two so-called “friends” take their sweet, innocent but slow co-worker, Donnie Montana, to Las Vegas to celebrate with a night he’ll always remember. Donnie is a thirty-two year old virgin and the idea is to “hook him up” with a “date” for the night. It’s their idea of fun, and they’re especially amused when Donnie chooses Gina, a forty-something hooker running on fumes, for his very special night. Maybe a slow man can find true love with a fast woman.

Run From The Hunter (Feature Film) Based on the true story of “The Group” of sci-fi writers, including Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and others, who managed to ignite the imagination of a country and the world.

The Road Home (Feature Film or Limited Series for Cable) Stella Wheeler is a burned-out veteran with two tours of Afghanistan behind her and a serious case of PTSD. She feels abandoned by her country and she’s numbing herself with way too much alcohol and drugs. But a visit from her grandfather, Emory, changes her direction when he tells her secrets from his own past. A long time ago, way back in 1936, Emory killed the man who was abusing his mother. The man was a judge and Emory had to disappear, quickly. He ended up on the top of Mt. Hood outside Portland, Oregon, working on a WPA project (Works Progress Administration – started by President Roosevelt to put people back to work and ease the hardships of the Great Depression). The times were different, the government actually worked to help the most impoverished of its citizens, and there was a bond of compassion that helped Emory, as well as the rest of the country, to get through the most difficult times in the country’s history. This is the story of that project (The building, against all odds, of Timberline Lodge) as well as the story of what this country, and the people in it, were capable of when their hearts are inspired to help each other.

Hot House (One-hour Dramedy) A guy who lives in his car, a woman who collects lost cats and stray people, a would-be actor, a pan-sexual Republican, a hustler with ties to the Russian mob, and a former, part-time arsonist. Sounds like a random sampling from any neighborhood in LA, but it happens to be the crew of Fire Station #23, Venice, California, known locally as “Hot House.” This is a light hearted look at the camaraderie that exists within the “family” of firefighters.
