| Yellow Brick Road | - Jake McNamara abandoned his family ten years ago. Now, with his father dying, he's forced to revisit his family, and their farm in Kansas. There he finds bickering siblings, his parents turned against his gay brother, and a family farm that’s being forced down his throat.  Can he survive the trip, or will the McNamaras end up destroying themselves?  Submitted to Project Greenlight I a well as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Nicholls Fellowship in Screen writing.

| Deserving Selfish | - Kass, a housewife, mother, and emotional victim of September 11th deals with her pent up emotions in her own 'physical' way. -- Filmed summer 2002.  Screened February 2003 in Wichita, Kansas and Los Angeles, California. 

Warning: If you take this screenplay seriously then you may be offended by this. This is NOT an attempt to make light of the serious situation of September 11th or the grief felt by all the victims... this is an example of someone dealing with their emotions in the best way that they can. 
If we cannot utilize our ability at humor in times of crisis then how are we- as a species- supposed to grow?
