Other projects

As I slowly move into the realm of distribution for HNIT its time to also think about the dreaded "what's next".

I have a few things I am working on:

Cause of Cancer
This is a script I wrote a few years back. I lost a few people in a short span of time to Cancer and wrote this as a form of therapy. It is not your typical Cancer movie. I like say its Fight Club meets My Life. I had some Hollywood interest in CoC a few years back then got busy editing other peoples projects. I pitched it to a studio exec once and was told that it was "Too original" and he asked if I had anything like Dodgeball (that was the flavor du jour). In a perfect world I would be able to make this movie myself since it is so personal but finding funding these days is tough so I might have to see what my options are. Its an amazing script that needs to be made right.

Tapestry
The script I just finished about a cop investigating a mob hit. This was one of the easier scripts I have ever written. The story is extremely complex but I was able to wrap my head around it and pound it out very quickly. I like this script because you could do it for a small budget but it also scales up very nicely.

Lifeboat
A sci-fi horror script about 6-8 people trapped in an escape pod during an attack. I am in the process of getting the outline down and then I think I should be able to write it very quickly. This is actully part of a bigger universe that I have been working on for a while. I've mapped out about 150 years of history and am thinking that I can use this for movies, comics, TV etc. It is a really interesting universe that could spawn multiple stories.

It's My Kid Damn it!
This is a non movie project. It is a book I am currently working on about parenting. Its a first hand look at raising your kid and how other people judge you. I'm writing it because I am sick and tired of people telling me and my wife that the choices we've made as parents were wrong. Our son is smart, healthy and well behaved so I think we did OK. Its going to be a very funny, raw look at rasing a kid, with the simple premise of "it's your kid, your choice".

Untitled Stop Motion Short
No real clue what I want to do other than a stop motion short. I have been experimenting with stop motion for about a year and would like to try a little 2-3 film. I don't have a script or anything. What I may do is do it as a music video for a friends band or something like that.

And hopefully a couple of editing gigs to keep the wolves away.
