Assisted Living is a feature-length screenplay. It's only at the end of our old, feeble lives that we can look back and think about how we would have done things differently. But what if you could gain the wisdom of that hindsight with your youth fully intact? 30-year-old Cole Murphy, an aspiring comedian stuck as an orderly at a nursing home, gets that opportunity after economic circumstances force him to live in an elderly guise as nursing home pseudo-resident Karl Peters in ASSISTED LIVING. Cole's jumbled double life becomes further complicated as the woman he's fallen for, Megan, ends up being the granddaughter of his nursing home neighbor and best old friend, Rick. After betraying the trust of Megan, Rick, and some unlikely elderly friends, Cole must rely on the values he's picked up as a senior to make things right again.

Three episodes of a situation-comedy tracking the exploits of four twenty-somethings, as their debt and bills spiral out of control and take them deeper into the suprisingly strange world of professional murder. An exploration of family expectation, desperation, the "quarter-life crisis", and moral rationality in the face of adversity. The first episode was filmed in an attempt to explore practical production of said materials. A teaser for said episode is attached in the supplemental materials.

The story of family.

This is a compilation of material intended to assist in producing a television series.

The screenplay Seflove is the story of a slave girl destined to be queen who uses her royal talents and self-determination to be with the ones she loves. The stage Play Taken is the story of a black mother in the Jim Crow South who must take the law into her own hands to attempt to retrieve her child from white abductors.

Both stories take place in the state of Louisiana and are historical dramas. Taken is based on an actual event. Seflove uses magical realism to entertain family audiences with the history of African survivals in the United States.

Brothers Nathan and Donnie, separated by violence at a young age, are reunited thirty years later. Nathan, now a physician raised by a caring adoptive mother, must decide if he can risk letting Donnie, a drug abuser who has adopted his father's violent tendencies, into his life. This film explores the nature and cost of family, the heredity of violence, and the strength of love between brothers.
