Home is where the hurt is
HOMESICK*
Feature / Supernatural Thriller
(Co-written with Shelley Gustavson)
Following a traumatic breakdown, a bratty young art student is forced to recover in the isolation of her father’s mid-construction home. But as she works to rebuild her world, she stumbles across a dark, decades-old mystery.
Concept: The youthful, sun-dappled abandon of Badlands swallowed by the lurking, psychotic dread of Don’t Look Now. Peppered with the strange, obsessive air of Vertigo and the poetically haunting pulse of Sharp Objects.
*This project is partially supported by an Individual Artist Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events, as well as a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, a state agency through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.

A Summer Gothic
SUNNY DAYS
Feature / Period Drama, Coming of Age
During the summer of 1972, two step-siblings—Rosemary (sixteen) and Dick (nineteen)—inhabit their affluent uncle's isolated beach home while he's away, encountering and harboring an enigmatic drifter named Daisy, with whom they form a strange, perhaps troubling bond. Together they will experience moments of youthful freedom in a bygone era, poignant self-discovery, and ultimately a horrific and unforgettable event.
Concept: The Virgin Suicides drops acid with Badlands.
