I also write scripts for film and TV. Some with my buddy, Dustin Milligan.
Scripts with Dustin:
- Synners is a half-hour comedy. Think Step Brothers with a scfi twist.
- The Step Sister is a feature script, based on my own crush on my step-sister with a fantastical twist.
- First World Problems is our ode to Seinfeld. Four singles complaining about shit that doesn’t matter.
Scripts on my own:
Lies, Blackmail and Other Egregious Behavior is a black-comedy/crime feature. About a con man on the run, and the head pastor of a super church in Colorado Springs.
Deathless is an hour-long scifi pilot. It follows Courtland Rice in two timelines:
In the 2030’s: He’s an activist, a college student vehemently opposed to the new pill that’s coming onto the market. A pill that stops the aging process. Deathless. Courtland’s side argues: only the rich can afford it, widening the wealth gap, the power divide. And what will it do to population growth? And the environment? Not everyone can live forever. Those that are for deathless being legal site freedom and bodily autonomy. Courtland’s part of the security team guarding the leader of their movement…but he fails in protecting her. She’s assassinated. Courtland wants revenge, to find out who pulled the trigger.
In the 2050’s: Courtland lives in a world where America is no longer the superpower. The Sino-Soviet alliance is the new hegemony. Courtland lives a meager existence as a single father to his son, Ben, a boy that has a dream… to go to Asia and live the Deathless Dream. Courtland finds out about his son’s plan too late. Traffickers have already sold him a ticket. He’s on a boat to Busan. Now Courtland must get in a cargo container himself, making the perilous journey to Asia to track down his son. The added danger is…Courtland did things during the 30’s. Things that pissed off a lot of dangerous people. People that fled to Asia when deathless was made illegal.
Courtland’s past is about to catch up to him.
While the Boys Sleep is a feature length domestic thriller, following a worn-down stay-at-home-mom who begins an affair with a stay-at-home-dad, who may, or may not have killed his wife…
Kill the Prophet is a crime thriller, following Dylan, who, at 16, was shunned by the prophet of his cult, ended up on the streets and going to jail… Now, twenty years later, he’s been released from prison. And when that same prophet goes on the run from the FBI, Dylan and his formerly incarcerated friends head out on a mission to track down and kill the prophet.
