These screenplays cover a wide range of topics: the struggle for cultural survival (The Siege of Saint Michel), the nature of our afterlife (Limited Options), the importance of friendship (Buskers), pursuing a passion that also pays the bills (The Starlet), the death of chivalry (The Battle of Crecy). The first is a full-feature movie; the others, shorter works for television. Their purpose is to entertain while encouraging the observer to reflect upon the broader issues of life. Always, the accent is on colorful characters grappling with highly-conflictual and, at times, hilarious situations within a tight dramatic framework and intelligent verbal exchange.
