Collected Screen Plays   and other writings


        Here is a collection of the three screen plays that I wrote in a screen writing class at college.  The next two writings are additional excercises that I did in the class and thought were worth putting here.    After that it's a toss up.   

Mutineer                                                                  Fall 95, 3 pages

      This is the first script I ever wrote.  It has a ship at sea setting which I revisited with Faigan's Dream.  I didn't even bother reading it since two years ago when I wrote it so you won't find any cheesy teaser here.  

   

Boxcars                                                                                   Fall 95, 8 pages

      An old man goes up against a much younger generation.  This is the best screen play out of the three.  The teacher, oscar winner David Goodman, really liked it and the next semester when I was no longer majoring in film, he tried to get seniors looking for scripts to pick it up.  A few people were interested but didn't go any farther than that, realizing that it would be too big and expensive of a project.  Oh well.  I think it would make a cool movie - a ten minute one anyway, but that's how long senior films usually are.  Check it out.  

Wallace and the Ants                                                           Fall 95, 10 pages

      An Entomologist designs revolutionary armor for his ants but will he put them to war?   

Furnace                                                                                       Fall 95,  3 pages

      A psychologist discovers a way to see his patient's minds.  This isn't an actual script.  It's more of a sketch excercise in which we were to develope a story in eight different scenes.  Most likely you won't understand this story at all.  It's way too short to be as complicated as it is.  But it's pretty much my only dabbling in sci-fi so I thought I'd put it here.

Hemingway Sketch                                                                  Fall 95,  2 pages

        This is an excercise we did in which we were to rewrite a scene from a Hemingway story so that it is completely objective.  That is, descriptive in a way that doesn't have a narrative voice and go into any of the character's minds.  This is one of the first creative writings I did in college and reading it again after a long time I still think it's pretty decent.  I have no idea what Hemingway story it is from.         

Failureville and you                                                                  May 99,  1 page

       

Tent City                                                                             October 99,  6 pages

        An idea for a sitcom that would never worm its way into network television.  Check it out and see why.
