Crashing America Mood Reel

From novel to screenplay

Crashing America
Screenplay

After interest from producers, I got involved in adapting my novel, Crashing America, for the screen. What followed was a wild two-year ride: multimillion-dollar deals, amazing actors, betrayals—everything. Enough, in fact, to inspire a new screenplay, Who’s Afraid of Hollywood?

In any case, although Crashing America never made it to the big screen, here is a mood reel for your small screen. (So happy to be directing movies now. However small, I can get them done. Love it.)
