Christmas Across the Hall

A full-length feature

Available for Option

The single father of a hardcore tomboy, children’s book illustrator Dylan Wrenter is out of his depth when he’s assigned to create a storybook for little girls instead of little boys.

From the opening…

Bree hurries into her kitchen — sweater, jeans, an artsy tote slung over one shoulder. She pours a cup of black coffee, tosses in a few mini marshmallows, and calls loudly for Heidi. A bundle of broom bristles WHACKS against the window from the apartment below. Setting down the mug, she hurries to open it.

Halfway down her hallway, a massive HOLE gapes between her apartment and the neighboring one. Heidi ducks through — hair frazzled, a colorful jacket half pulled over a frilly, white apron. “You know,” Bree says, “when we finally agreed to room together, I thought that would involve an actual opening between our apartments — not just… a hole.”

Forememberence

A short drama

A short drama about Aiden, a young man born with a rare condition called Forememberence — he can remember the future but not the past — and Emily, the woman he has been waiting his whole life to meet. Told in black and white, with color returning only in the quiet glimpses of their life together, the film traces the strange ache of loving someone whose ending you already know, and the mercy of learning to hold onto what matters before it happens.

From the opening…

A doctor’s office. All is in black and white. Young Aiden, ten years old, sits on the edge of an examining bed, swinging his feet. Beside him, his mother sits with a hand on his back. His father stands protectively over them. Neither smile.

Young Aiden watches, unfazed, as a white-coated doctor writes out a definition on the whiteboard: Forememberence — a rare psychological condition where a person can remember the future but not the past.

Lifetime Membership

A play for two actors and an audience

A one-act stage play with a twist tucked inside its fourth wall. When Mr. Everett E. Man — a perfectly proper, socially allergic gentleman — receives a letter informing him that his Lifetime Membership to the Human Race is about to expire due to lack of use, he has exactly one chance to plead his case before the Board of Investors. The catch? The Board is the audience — every single person he has ever nodded to, brushed past, or failed to truly see. It’s a small, funny, unsettling play about what it really means to use one’s humanity — and whether there’s still time to start.

Haunted Home

An episode of The Carnival

Set within The Carnival — an anthology audio drama in the spirit of The Twilight Zone — “Haunted Home” steps inside the haunted house attraction, where a cowardly actor-ghost named Thomas crosses paths with Kai, a twelve-year-old runaway hiding in the rafters. What begins as a standoff over a broken surveillance camera slowly becomes something else: a conversation between two people running from the same thing. A story about cowardice and courage, about the weight of what we’ve done, and about the quiet, stubborn mercy of being told it’s time to go home.
