The bleed

THE BLEED is one-hour crime drama set in a world of sci-fi horror. It takes dramatic elements from BREAKING BAD and combines them with a sci-fi/supernatural world akin to STRANGER THINGS.

The show is about a modern day gold rush in a Lovecraftian nightmare. It centers around a hundred-mile tear in reality that cuts across the American North East. In this cosmic anomaly dwell shadow creatures, possessed cultists, and strange phenomena.

But that’s not stopping people from trying to make a buck off what else can be found within...

THE BLEED placed in the 2019 Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition.

THE DEVIL'S TEETH

The Devil’s Teeth is a one-hour drama about a family in crisis.
The family is small and biracial.
The crisis is a snuff tape.

The show is set in 1990’s New Jersey, a blue collar town starting to shed its former image of corrupt politics and crime. The series follows Pamela, the only black deputy in an all white sheriff’s office, and Jeff, her estranged father and rogueish conman.

When a snuff-tape surfaces that answers what happened to Pamela’s mother so many years ago, father and daughter are locked in a mission to solve the brutal murder despite their long-standing tensions.

THE DEVIL'S TEETH earned Christopher a Film Independent Episodic Television Fellowship. The script was also a finalist in the 2018 Sundance Episodic Lab.

A MOTIVATED MAN

A MOTIVATED MAN is a feature-length drama about the man who created mustard gas, Fritz Haber. It’s the story of a brilliant man whose blind patriotism made him a war criminal.

Fritz’s journey takes him from Jewish outsider to one of history’s most hated men. However, Fritz’s story isn’t so simple as we also explore how this brilliant chemist single-handedly ended famine across the globe.

A MOTIVATED MAN was awarded the Sloan Science & Film Student Screenwriting Grant and was selected for a Tribeca Film Institute Student Screenwriting Fellowship. The script was also a semi-finalist in the Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition.
