Tim - the whole version

Since I don't haven't anything new to post at this moment I thought I would return to the first script I put on this blog. At the time, it seemed like a good idea to post it in installments. That was kinda lame. So here's the thing in it's entirety. The story of two guys a girl and a set of golf clubs....

Bank Teller on the run

Remember when you actually had to use bank tellers?  Some of you deadbeats might still.  This teller falls for the robber.  It would have worked out if the cops wouldn't shoot first and ask questions later. Happens all the time.

Across the Nation

Ever meet someone that is totally wrong for you, but you fall for them anyway?  This is a treatment about guy who writes everything down until he doesn't.  Road movies are usually always cool.  This one probably isn't.

Double Back

Francois Truffaut said of Alfred Hitchcock, "He is the greatest living director and the only director that if sound in film were to vanish, his films would lose none of the meaning and coherence", or some shit like that. Years ago a friend of mine, Robert Willoughby, and I went to see a restored print of Hitchcock's "Vertigo". The amazing thing to me about that version of "Vertigo" (other than it's awesomeness as a film) was the remarkable photography of San Fransisco in the sixties. It looked as if it was shot earlier that year not decades before. That being said, Rob and I were inspired to co-write this Hitchcockian rip-off of a script that isn't nearly as bad as I remember it being. It takes place in rural Missouri in the nineties.

A Mall Story

Remember when malls were a thing?  You went there to hang out with your friends.  Then all of a sudden things started to turn, shops started to close, the clientele changed with the whiff of racial tension.  Here is a story about that....

What Makes a Man Start Fires?

The late 70's was a fascinating time in Kansas City history.  A mob war, building collapses, stadiums being built, etc...This story, although fictional, is deeply rooted in the events of this era.  In that place.  At that time.

A Way Out

What if the only way out of a bad situation was to betray the only person you ever loved?

Three's a Crowd

A while after Katrina and the whole weird nomadic aftermath, I decided to write a script loosely based on Times-Picayune columnist, Chris Rose. He seemed to be particularly affected by the events of 2005. It turns out it wasn't about him at all.

el Ordinál

I spent a summer many moons ago in Cuernava, Mexico after which I decided to take some of my experiences there and write a thriller.  This is what came out.  Not exactly thrilling, but maybe interesting.

You ever wonder what the other person across from you is thinking?
