    Psychological Drama / Supernatural Thriller Screenplay: Unbound

    Unbound is an original psychological drama that intercuts between present-day Austin, Texas and King James-era Scotland. Cultural anthropologist Sarah Perry steals an ancient amulet from a peat bog excavation site and finds her consciousness spiritually bound to its original owner — Deirdre Lamb, a healer living under the shadow of the witch persecutions. Unbound attracted interest from director Jason Connery, actress Anne Hathaway, BIFA-nominated actor Gary Stretch, and musicians Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Tommy Stinson (The Replacements).

    Horror Comedy Screenplay: Púcas for Dummies

    Púcas for Dummies is a coming-of-age supernatural comedy set in the small Irish village of Toornabookee in 1985. The scenes below are a showcase for what I love most about writing– characters who feel real and alive, dialogue that crackles, and they demonstrate my ear for dialect and regional voice as well. (Also, it includes a six-year-old with a very impressive potty mouth.)
