Version 2023: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/845438398

An old, pathologically humanistic (dedicated to ‘above all do no harm’ yet seeks to make big difference in the world as it is) physician writing his memoirs about the people/patients who made him, for better or worse, what he has become is visited by them from the land of the living and the dead, with even bigger problems than being diagnosed with advancing brain cancer. A metaphysical, espionage, medical, psychedelic cerebral serio-comedic journey that merges past, present and future. Adopted from novel of same title. 164 min.

Eve and the Master Gardener

Eve has reincarnated many times and is currently a civil rights advocate, with ONE lingering case that she has been neglecting—Having a ‘discussion’ with the (very male) Heavenly Father about why she got all the blame for what happened in the Garden of Eden with the apple. And why she and all of her female progeny were given a bum deal relative to men on earth. A heartfelt and satirical film which exposes the flaws of many contemporary religions, but still encourages us to seek a higher, deeper, kinder and Truth based Spirituality, big S.

Goldplay

Serio-comedic, with lots of political meat, and satire.

Three dysfunctional yet potentially effective Revolutionaries are drawn by presumably their own secret informers in 1907 New Mexico to an overlook through which a train overloaded with gold stolen from the people and slaves by powerful business moguls will pass. They plan to rob the gold to fund their OWN revolutions and liberate the captives. They are…a failed Bolshevik from Russia seeking to redeem himself from his own failures in the 1905 revolution back home, a feminist who wants to arm women against men to take over America, and a Mexican Yaqui Indian who wants to throw all White people out of North America. They are pitted against each other by the failed Bolshevik’s slow-witted, ‘refuses to be liberated’ servant, who has designs on them and the gold that are not revealed until his secret agenda is well underway. 60 min.

Socrates and Aspasia

A very unhappily-married aging Socrates in Ancient Athens tries to maintain the loving and mind-stimulating relationship with his old flame Aspasia, an extremely intelligent, artistic and compassionate courtesan from another country who secretly influences but is never officially part of Athenian politics. Socrates is nagged to death by his ignorant, crude, selfish and abusive wife while Aspasia deals with the ‘moralistically and otherwise required’ abuse from Lysiles a high level popular politician who ‘owns’ her as a Mistress. Tensions rise and decisions have to be made when Lysiles, whose life was saved by Socrates in the Peloponnesian War long ago, seeks revenge on the Revolutionary philosopher in many ways, and for secret reasons of which Socrates has no knowledge. At stake, the survival, sanity and legacy of both Socrates as well as Aspasia. (75 min, 2021).

Filmable play/short film 60 min. Drama with MANY comedic moments.  And novella.

Logline:  Genius Visionary composer Richard Wagner is awakened in Purgatory a century and a half after his death in the 1880s, his Mystical Enlightenment-inducing Music set to be forgotten for the rest of recorded time unless he can answer for charges of inciting WWII with his anti-Semitic writings, intense connection to the best/most intense elements of German culture, his secret life as a very not normal man, and other transgressions which were part of his unique Creative Process.
