I’m developing two television series for production, along with a number of spec feature screenplays. I work in grounded science fiction, big IP ideas, and genre stories of all sizes. What I lack as a joke writer I make up for with my killer sense of structure.
Specs in development
Safecrackers: in the wake of World War III, The Mummy meets Horizon Zero Dawn as a team of scavengers work together to loot the fortified mansion of the world’s most paranoid trillionaire.
