This was a return to an amazing book by Terry Truman, and one of my very first collaborations. I was honored to work with Terry and the talented Robert C. Caisley. This story has been developing for over 10 years and has had so many drafts. Sample the latest version on www.purplecrayonpictures.com

Yes, this one was definitely influenced by my five years as a Director on ZNation and too many Sci-Fi shows during COVID-19. It is my attempt to create a TV show with old ideas but a new twist. Visit www.purplecrayonpictures.com for a sneak preview.

This makes me smile because I collaborated with a creative dynamic duo and, in their own words, " rad couple" Jesse James Hennessy, jjh_productions, and Tami Hennessy. I pitched them an idea, and we worked together on this little fun Rom-Com. Follow Jesse and Tami on www.bloodymarriedpodcast.com.

This one I took off the shelf and dusted it off. It was fun to polish a project you have not touched for years. It was actually a self-actualizing experience as a storyteller

So, the film industry has been interesting for the last few years. COVID, Strikes, the Industry contracting, and tightening of their belt. Sadly, I had fewer opportunities to be on set in 2023 and 2024. I turned my creative focus to developing new scripts and polishing some older stories.
