What if everyone is someone's date from hell?

MATCH THIS is a romantic comedy that follows a klutzy executive trying to get back into the dating scene when she shows up to her first date with her perfect man smelling like a skunk. Now she must regain the interest of Mr. Perfect, or at least find Mr. He'll Do.

Quarterfinalist in 2008 Scriptapalooza!

I was named a quarterfinalist (top 10% out of over 4,000 scripts entered) in the 2008 Scriptapalooza International Screenplay Competition for my screenplay AMERICAN HERO.

A hero must lose his leg in order to become a man.

A self-destructive American fighter pilot loses his legs disobeying an order. The Air Force designates him a hero in order to build favor with the Army and avoid public embarrassment over what really happened. As his life catches up with him, he hides behind his new-found designation as American Hero and realizes that, legs or no legs, he cannot outrun his past and even his new moniker cannot save him from himself. A former lover arrives at precisely the wrong time. Faced with losing everything, he discovers that it isn't what you do that makes you a hero, it's why you do it.
