Title: Bucceroni

Logline: Professor Richie Bucceroni (son of a departed hitman) finds love and murder in the mean streets of Brooklyn

Synopsis: When a slimy drug dealer is squeezed to death by a deadly poison, Bucceroni couldn't care less; it's good riddance to bad rubbish. Then, he learns he's next, so the professor must figure out the drug connection, or die. Helping him is a beautiful blonde with half a face who uses her silenced .22 when need be. Suspects include a gang--the Seoul Brothers--and its vicious leader Jimmy Fisheyes, a 6'4" transvestite named Bob, one horny professor who uses coeds as his personal sex garden, and another into a kinky brand of s and m; there's also Fat Harry, a pusher of pornography and pastrami. BUCCERONI races to a violent conclusion with a knockout of 2 Neo-Nazis, one gut-shooting of a creep, and one climatic bombing--a Bensonhurst solution: when in doubt, kill as many as you can. This film is an education in violence, a noir mystery of one man's struggle to find love and escape his fate. Serving as backdrop is the half-gentrified world of still dangerous, present-day Brooklyn.

Title: Unearthing

Logline: When a man learns the key to unlocking his mysterious past is buried on a suspected killer's property, he must convince the woman who doesn't know she hid it there to help him find it.

Synopsis: Unearthing is a story set in a small town, where two people who share a strange and complicated past delve into life's most challenging subjects--science, faith, destiny, and love. What they ultimately discover destroys what they think is real, and leaves audiences questioning the same. As a writer, my aim is to develop layered and thought-provoking stories that challenge audiences to escape contentment and experience life a little more uncomfortably. To date, I have written three produced screen plays, Red Samurai, Truth Be Told, and NADA. With Unearthing and Emptiness (another script in development), I'm looking to take my career to the next level and am currently seeking new representation. To read Unearthing, please reply and request. Thank you for your time,
