Screenplays

Training : Two precocious, yet naive, young women learn about illusions and deception on a train trip across Canada. (A low-budget feature, similar in form to The Breakfast Club or Before Sunrise.)

Widdershins : A feisty old broad prepares for a reunion in Mexico with her first love, but her daughter interferes when she suspects her mother is loco. (A feature-length drama with elements similar to Like Water for Chocolate or Fried Green Tomatoes.)

The Sinner : Two trappers on Vancouver Island meet their doom and explore their fate during the brutal winter of 1940. (A half-hour drama based on an actual event.)

Simon Says, "Make My Deadline" : The life of Simon Royale, famous blind detective-series author, plunges into disorder when his wife suddenly dies taking with her crucial information needed to complete his novel and make his deadline. (Sitcom pilot - first episode, bible and bios - co-written with Lee Harper.)

Make Believe : This is an anthology series highlighting the lives of six 19th-century children's authors. Weaving fantasy with fact, each segment illustrates events that influenced the authors' works. (Program synopses and two one-hour scripts are available: My Boys [James Barrie] and Wishes [Kate Greenaway].)
