I’ve had four optioned screenplays: Wild Boys screenplay (optioned by producer/director, Rachel Talalay); Danny Boy screenplay (optioned by Jon Shestack/Beacon Communications); Oasis Motel screenplay (optioned by Grey Line Entertainment), and The Marvelous Boy (optioned by MC Entertainment). While working for a Web site called What They Play, I wrote/produced/directed several TV/Web pilots, most notably, GAME TIME!.
