HAUNTED WHEN THE MINUTES DRAG

Synopsis: Plezance Marquise, quintessential Rock Goddess and lead singer for the band iST is losing her mind. A bit at a time, perhaps, but thats how psychosis works its magic, destroying reason, creating its own reality. But is it truly a disease, or is it just celebrity and its inherent need to legitimize the eccentricities of fame?

BONVIN A VENDRE

Synopsis: Set in present day Paris, a world-renowned oil painter reinvents herself, having fled the corruption of the commercial art world. With a new name, she finds true love and new passion for her work, even as she is constantly challenged by the darkness of her former existence, and the treachery of those who seek to exploit her.

BIG FOOT

Synopsis: A twisted romp through the back roads and woods of Northern California. Dirk Gimble is a tabloid journalist on an assignment to seek out the elusive Bigfoot, but events beyond his mortal control work seemingly both for and against him, thrust ever deeper into intrigue as he approaches his final destination. Petty thieves, a junkie cop, a good girl gone bad, a dead teenage hooker, gypsies and urban legends abound as this story asks the question: who can you trust, what do you really believe in and how far can that trust be stretched until somebody winds up dead? (Co-written with Vaughn Verdi and based on an original story idea by Bill Gargarella and Astrid Young)
