I am happy to share that my full-length screenplay, Nocturne Variations (based on my novel of the same name), has been published in the new issue of Open: A Journal of Arts & Letters, as part of their screenwiting series.

LOGLINE: Dystopic Peter Pan meets surrealist noir in this cinemythical tale about love, loss and the illusions of shadow-play.

SYNOPSIS: Los Angeles, December, 1989, is when we first meet the seventeen-year-old Piers, a runaway and savant puppeteer. Addicted to Sike, an experimental drug which promises a return to childhood, Piers, in an act of revenge, robs a briefcase full of Sike from her dealer and flees L.A., pursued by two hit men. Hiding out in a remote Southwestern town, she meets and is taken in by a man named Henry Hook, and is confronted by the buried trauma of her past.
