"ONE LESS EGG TO FRY" -
​Best Screenplay – LA Crime & Horror Film Festival (2025)
Final Script Delivered. Industry Circulating.
I don’t write “gay stories.” I write thrillers where power seduces, love destroys, and fate never blinks. The fact that some of my leads are queer?
That just makes the stakes higher.
I'm not chasing trends. I’m redefining them.
Beautifully unstable narratives that linger long after the credits roll.
9-screenplay slate. 5 completed in 75 days. All killer. No filler.
