Thanks for checking us out. We are in the early stages of reforming and getting back to what we do best--creating films that entertain everybody. We've been creating screenplalys, play and movies since 1994, beginning with our first, award winning screenplay IN THE 24th HOUR, a film about 2 teens who were neighbors all their lives and in the course of one day, the girl, who thinks she's pregnant, see's her entire life change. The only one around to pick up the pieces is the boy next door who she left behind years ago.
We took that screenplay to Hollywood and pitched it to several studio's, and though there was a lot of interest, it ultimately did not get made. I am going to include an attachment to some of COPYRIGHTED screenplays on our website. Greg Culver and I were the authors of IN THE 24th HOUR, CROSS COUNTRY, THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT and MY PROM DATE, all movies that remain unproduced, though MY PROM DATE also garnered a lot of interest in the Hollywood studio system. MY PROM DATE was optioned by IMAGINE ENTERTAINMENT in 2004 and was put into turn around a year later with the rights to the screenplay ultimately being turned back to us.
I began taking acting classes with Burt Reynolds, for 5 years the number one box office star in the world -- and it was through his Institute that we ultimately pulled together a talented group of people to make our first indie feature, ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND, which remains unfinished, though we will finish it in 2017.
