2 years ago I began working with Austin director John Valley to develop AMERICAN DOLLHOUSE, a gritty & weird horror movie about the world's worst neighbor.

We just found out: we got into South By Southwest, the Austin film fest! Can't wait to show you our movie. We premiere at @sxsw.com in March!

A client changed directions, so I'm available! I write about the war in Ukraine & the possible war over Taiwan. I produce videos & podcasts. Tech, political & operational angles.
