SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST
Fall 2024 Workshop, in development
In the middle (of the middle) of the country, a teenage girl gets pregnant. Her mother insists she carry the baby to term but refuses to let the shame of teenage pregnancy tarnish their family's reputation. The mother forces her daughter to tell the town priest that the pregnancy is the result of an immaculate conception—that God is the father of her child. Narrated by the Statue of Liberty, the lie spirals through America until everyone believes Louise is a Modern Day Mother Mary.
THE 1000 YEAR OLD MAN
Fall 2024 Workshop, in development
On his 1000th birthday, the inexplicably immortal Eli Granston has one wish: "Let me die." Forty-seven stories above New York City, he meets Jenna Malone, a young woman dying of a terminal illness. She can't believe he'd throw his remarkable chance at life away, and he can't believe her love for living.
