Updated Script Consulting Web Site

In addition to writing my own screenplays, I have an active consulting business in which I critique and/or re-write other people's scripts. I also adapt short stories and novels into screenplays. My client base ranges from New York City to western Canada, Sweden, and Paris - and I look forward to expanding it further.

The Comedy Gift That Keeps on Giving

Carlo Fiorletta as Trump

Our new President here in the U.S. is the comedy gift that keeps on giving, so Carlo Fiorletta and I are making the most of a crazy situation. Our web series Big Brain Tweeting is releasing its 9th episode tonight and we've already got several others in the (proverbial) can.

The great Norman Lear described his iconic television series All In The Family as satire rather than comedy, and that's definitely what we aspire to with BBT.

It's been a lot of fun to put together a project that's the complete opposite of making a feature film in terms of equipment and crew, but we've been adding guest actors, musicians, and sound effects as we go forward. Carlo is the lead writer and director, and stars as Trump. I hold the camera, edit, and occasionally write an episode or part of one.
