FESTER

Feature Film | Horror, Horror-Comedy, Gay

A young man still coming to terms with his sexuality has a secret affair with his hot, mysterious new roommate — only to find out the man is in fact a demon hell-bend on devouring him.  

Alternately scary, sexy, funny, intimate, gory and thrilling, this is a contained, twisty-turny feature about the demons that hold us back from being our truest self. 

Official selection at the Fantasia Film Festival’s 2021 Frontières International Co-Production Market. Read about it on Variety. No current producer attachment(s).

Feedback:

“This script uses horror for metaphor in a way that’s really clear, very commercial, and hasn’t quite been done yet.” — The Black List

“This script crackles with sharp dialogue and a solid pace… a wonderful concept that is sure to haunt the reader.” — Slamdance

“Incredible visuals and memorable images throughout.” — Los Angeles Screenplay Awards

FANBOY

Feature Film | Romantic Comedy, Gay

In this charming yet raunchy rom-com, a creatively and romantically frustrated young filmmaker decides to raise money for his first movie by starting a subscription porn channel with an ex-stripper — only for his own insecurities to get in the way. 

Feedback:

“With its ability to take a grounded look at a taboo subject, FANBOY is an entertaining feature that could really resonate with audiences.” — The Black List

“Very fun to read… a gay story without homophobia and the very relatable gay panic.” — Austin Film Festival

‘TIS THE F***ING SEASON

Feature Film | Comedy, Dark Comedy

The anti-Christmas-movie Christmas movie.

At times dark, at times joyful, this crass and fast-paced comedy follows the over-worked and under-appreciated art department of a Christmas movie production company, as they trudge their way through a film shoot amid a major shakeup that could make or break them.

Theater Camp meets Best in Show meets VEEP.
