After being sucked inside a kid’s computer game, a family can only return home if they win the game–which entails outwitting classic fairy tale characters, fighting killer beasts, and the wicked fairy they’re playing against–all before the laptop’s battery dies and they perish along with it. An entertaining fairy tale mashup.
INSIDE THE GAME takes place in a computer game called Fairy Tale Land and is a comedic adventure fantasy infused with magic, heart and damn scary thrills. What, you don’t think fairy tales are scary? They’re sissy baby stuff?
Hah! Let’s see if you make it out alive when you’re trapped in a small cottage with three hungry and very pissed off bears who want to rip you a new one for eating their porridge and busting up their fine furniture.
Oh, and you’re also trapped in a ludicrous too tight dress with Goldilocks’ curls fused to your skull. This is the family’s first game challenge in the deep dark scary forest and dad bravely, kinda, faces it. And it only gets worse. Much worse. Can you say man-eating ogre and fire breathing dragon?
But that ain’t all. Besides the bizarre killer creatures trying to annihilate them, the poor family must also play against their opponent, Vileena, the most wicked, disgusting and vile fairy in the history of history. Hell, she would send Darth Vader screaming into the night.
But it isn’t all brave heroic feats of derring-do you have to do. Nope. You gotta have brains and be clever with ‘em. Besides the role playing tasks, you score points in this wacked out game by outwitting and out guessing what the eccentric fairy tale characters are going to do before they do it. Or you have to figure out what objects they’re going to want to trade for. There’s no money involved, just crazy trades, favors and plots. Continue reading…

A drama about a brilliant American geneticist and her struggle in Argentina, as she pits her courage and genetic techniques against brutal tyrants and kidnappers, to reunite the “Grandmothers of the Disappeared” with their stolen grandchildren. It’s loosely based on actual events.
About the Grandmothers Of The Disappeared – When Argentina’s military overthrew Peron’s government, they abducted any suspected opponents, and hundreds of children were either kidnapped along with their parents or born in captivity. Early in the reign of terror, a human rights organization called the “Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo” was founded.
These grandmothers kept a vigil in the plaza across from the military offices, picketing for the return of their children and grandchildren. Their natural dignity made them a powerful symbol of resistance. But they were more than that–they were a fully operational intelligence organization, gathering an enormous amount of evidence about the fate of the disappeared. Continue reading…

Low-Budget Angels – feature screenplay
A former movie star is offered a big comeback role, providing he can prove he’s no longer a psychotic drunk, by staying sane and sober while completing a low-budget movie nightmare with the most incompetent film school crew in cinematic history.
Though once a big film star, today Marc can’t even get an infomercial audition. Seems this Oscar winner can’t convince anyone he’s no longer a psychotic drunk. But Marc still has fans in high places. The bad news– they’re all dead. The good news–mere death can’t stop screen legends. And soon a cavalry of Hollywood angels comes fluttering to his rescue.
Leading the heavenly flock is Marc’s old pal and new guardian angel–Orson Welles. Although Marc grows dubious as he follows Welles’ advice and his predicament just gets worse, they soon stumble into a minor miracle–a big director offers Marc a comeback role. The catch: Marc must first prove his rehabilitation by staying sane and sober while completing a low-budget movie nightmare. One that would send Iron Man screaming to the loony bin, let alone sensitive Marc.
The director of this cheap mess is Sal, a nasty kid who just flunked film school, never made a movie, and since he hates it when anyone shows him up–he’s hired classmates who know even less than he does. Thus assembling the most incompetent film crew in cinematic history. For perfectionist Marc, working with this inept crew is agonizing torture.
Helping Marc through this ordeal are Orson’s assistants–Humphrey Bogart, a big fan of Marc’s; and Marilyn Monroe, who’s had a crush on Marc for years. And these angels certainly have their hands full trying to protect him from the bumbling crew–from such trifles as being maimed, blown up or hurled off a cliff.
If the angels can keep Marc’s body in one piece, ruthless Sal is intent on yanking his psyche apart. Sal thinks that having Marc on the brink of another nervous breakdown will result in riveting performances for his movie. So to keep Marc teetering on the edge, he’s wired the production with an emotional mine field of situations and surprise guests.
Like the new assistant director–Marc’s ex-wife, Kate. The last time these two tangled, the turbulent passion turned Marc into a blathering basket case confined to a mental institution. But he’s still in love and desperately wants to win her back, but she doesn’t share his warm feelings in the least.
Kate’s animosity doesn’t stop Bogie and Monroe from being convinced they can put the lovebirds together. But since Welles thinks the femme fatale will derail Marc, the matchmakers must cleverly water the romance without Orson seeing a drop. Or else. And when Sal meets Kate, he wants her too and locks horns with Marc in a rapidly escalating war of spite and revenge.
And things don’t get any easier for Marc when other spices are added to the boiling set stew. Like the producer–a trigger happy Bronx mobster. And Marc’s new co-star–a porn actress bereft of talent. And then the low-budget is slashed in half. And then…
