DISCHARGE

I wrote, produced, co-directed, and act in the dramatic short film that was an Official Selection at 50 US and International film festivals, where it garnered many awards.

dis·charge | \ ˈdis-ˌchärj
1. the act of doing a task or duty that you must do:
2. to fire a gun
3. to relieve of or release from something that burdens or confines.

As his world begins to crumble around him, a troubled police detective, who has tried to ignore the effects from trauma he suffered, must finally confront his past in order to begin healing and reclaim his present.

KEELING

My award-winning screenplay for this dramatic short based on actual events is now in pre production, and currently seeking funding.

In 1986, pioneering atmospheric scientist, Dr. Charles David Keeling, must overcome his introverted nature in order to fight to save his vital climate research program against the Reagan administration, intent on shutting it down.
