Screengrabs from our new webseries Echo Helix. 

In an alternate present day America, nuclear fallout has left much of the population barren. As a result, the government has enacted the Bona Dea Project to maintain the dwindling population and protect the limited survivors. When ELLE is mistakenly forced outside the city walls for the first time, she quickly learns that things aren’t what they seem and discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society.

A dystopian thriller meets coming of age story, which layers mythology over an ethereal narrative that grapples with the socio-political turmoil in modern America.

We’ve begun production on a new Web Series I’m writing, directing and producing. We will be releasing the first promo video by the end of the month.

A good script can open doorways for you, even if it doesn’t make it into production.

David S. Goyer (BAFTA/BFI Screenwriters Lecture)

This is really true. It’s also why you need a good answer to the question, “What else are you working on?”
