I'll be damned. My screenplay, Pay Dirt, has won the 2025 Best Feature Screenplay at the #RichmondInternationalFilmFestival. Logline: A #CIA operative-turned speechwriter navigates #Washington, #SiliconValley and #Africa as the U.S. and #China race for #rareearths. Timely, no?

The Day The Opera Curtain Came Down. I share this piece most #September11 anniversaries - in recognition that moving forward and carrying a memory can coexist. I still question the benevolence of a blue sky, but my suspicion has begun to soften.
