Film/Stage Experiments

Dreamrunners was a group project with my friends George Faerber, Devin Knowles and SarahScott Brett, done for a college class on the biology of science fiction. The premise: aliens crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1945, but in this version it was a ship the size of a city that crashed and began to colonize earth. 50 years later, the religious right is on a crusade to exterminate these "demons from the heavens", and one young man in particular finds himself perilously trapped between the two worlds.

Small States was an experiment on blending two different types of stories: straightforward fiction and screenplay writing. The wrapping story revolves around an elderly screenwriter alone in his apartment, and the screenplay he's writing tells a magical-realist love story about two young artists who fall in love over Edward Hopper.
