Feature
Silver
When an ordinary woman awakens inside a sealed, featureless pod with a countdown ticking toward... something... she learns she has been randomly selected to fulfill a moral “exchange” triggered by a stranger’s voluntary choice. As the clock runs down and her isolation fractures into panic, resistance, and revelation, she begins to uncover the system behind her imprisonment; one that isn’t punishing guilt, but studying human defiance.
What begins as a fight for survival becomes a confrontation with agency, sacrifice, and the terrifying logic of a world that measures life as currency. Silver is a high-concept, character-driven thriller exploring free will, moral tradeoffs, and what remains of humanity when choice itself is weaponized.Status: Completed feature screenplayWriters Statement
Silver began as a simple premise: what happens when morality is outsourced to a system? If we reduce ethics to math, to balance sheets and percentages, who gets counted... and who gets sacrificed?
The world of Silver isn’t loud or explosive. It’s sterile. Administrative. Calm. That was intentional. I wanted the horror to feel procedural; not chaotic, but justified. The kind of justification that sounds reasonable until you realize it requires someone else to pay.Selected Script Excerpt (Opening Sequence)
INT. POD – UNKNOWN LOCATION
Dark.
A SINGLE TONE pulses softly. Mechanical. Indifferent.
Light flickers on.
KAITLYN (30s) snaps awake, gasping; disoriented, breath shallow, eyes darting.
She’s seated upright in a narrow, STERILE HALF-POD. White walls. Seamless. No visible door.
Bright red numbers suspended on the wall: 01:29:43
The numbers tick down.
Kaitlyn blinks, trying to focus.
She looks at her hands. Touches her face. Real. Breathing.
She swallows, and listens.
A low hum fills the space.
She twists, straining against the curved wall behind her.
Nothing.
She leans forward, presses her palm against the surface in front of her.
Cold. Solid.
The countdown ticks.
Her breathing quickens.
She scans the pod; corners, ceiling, floor... searching for anything that explains where she is.
Nothing does.
She pounds once on the wall.
The sound is dull. Absorbed.
She pounds harder.
Nothing responds.
The numbers keep falling: 01:28:10
Kaitlyn stops. Listening.
Silence. No air vents. No voices.
Just the countdown ticking.
Her eyes land on the timer, and realization hits her.
She didn’t start it.
A beat.
Then...
A VOICE. Calm. Genderless. Close.
AI (V.O.)
You are the recipient of an activated exchange.
Kaitlyn jolts, spinning toward the sound.Request Full Script

Synthetic Genesis
When a mixed couple, one human, one Engineered Intelligence, chooses to raise biological and synthetic twins without ever revealing which child is which, they believe the absence of a label is the greatest gift they can give. They are right. And they are not prepared for what the world does with that absence instead.
As the twins grow into adolescence, society discovers their existence and decides it already knows who they are. The media, the school board, and a government oversight committee all identify the wrong child as synthetic; and begin building policy around that certainty. Synthetic Genesis is a prestige drama about judgment without verification, the children who pay for other people's certainty, and a family that archives the truth before it can be erased.Status: Completed feature screenplayWriter's Statement
I've been judged by my appearance my entire life; sorted, categorized, and assigned a story before anyone asked me a question. Synthetic Genesis is built from that experience. The future setting isn't science fiction for its own sake. It's distance. The same distance that lets you see a thing clearly when you're too close to look at it directly.
The twins aren't symbols; they're children. The harm done to them isn't malicious; it's the specific, ordinary harm of a world that moves fast, assumes confidently, and rarely checks its work. That's the story I needed to tell. Jeffery ReedSelected Script Excerpt (Opening Sequence)

Horizon of the Soul
After the sudden loss of his father, Josh takes to the highway in the old Volvo cab-over truck they once rebuilt together. What begins as escape becomes a crucible of self-discovery, as Josh wrestles with grief, fractured family bonds, and his role as a father. Along the way, memories, music, and even a mysterious figure at the gaming table push him toward truths he’s been unwilling to face. Horizon of the Soul is an intimate road drama about loss, reconciliation, and the strength we find in the legacies left behind.

Director’s Statement
I want to translate personal experience to the screen in Horizon of the Soul. I want the camera to be invisible. I want the focus to be on the main characters as they tell this story, exploring themes of abandonment, longing, and the cyclical nature of hurt. Tim RussWriter’s Statement
I wrote Horizon of the Soul to honor my father, and to give voice to every driver, every worker, every person who has carried that silence alone. At its core, this story isn’t about engines or highways. It’s about resilience. It’s about what it means to rise again when the world has already knocked you down. Jeffery ReedSelected Script Excerpt (Opening Sequence)
FADE IN:
INT. DOJO - NIGHT
Soft fluorescent lights HUM overhead.
The air is quiet but charged -- every movement deliberate, every breath controlled, as he demonstrates the Tekki Shodan Kata.
JOSH (20s) finishes, and stands among fellow students, chest rising and falling steadily. His belt is tied tightly around his waist.
A subtle glance from his SENSEI ROB (50s). A nod. Josh steps forward, hands at his sides.
A new belt is presented to him.
He unties the old one, folds it neatly, and sets it aside.
He takes and ties the new one around his waist, pulling it tight.
A bow of respect.
Josh stands.
The moment is his.
Among the small group of observers, his FATHER (40s) watches from the sidelines, arms crossed.
A subtle, proud nod.
He steps off the mat, the belt snug around him.
Across the room, in the small crowd of spectators, SYLVIE (30s) sits with LILY, their 5-year-old.
Sylvie glances up from her phone, eyes flat. A roll of her eyes before she goes back to scrolling.
She saw; she just didn't care.
Lily, on the other hand, is wide-eyed, perched on the edge of her seat.
She claps excitedly, small hands smacking together with pure enthusiasm.
Josh meets his daughter's gaze. A brief, shining moment; connection.
He offers a small, private smile meant only for her.
Lily beams back, bouncing slightly with joy.
The moment lingers, then passes.
Josh inhales and moves forward, but the weight of what's waiting for him outside these walls presses in.
Josh exhales, his posture stronger than before.
Sylvie glances up from her phone, lets out an exasperated sigh, then grabs Lily's hand.
Without a word, she tugs her towards the door.
Josh watches them go. His hands find the belt, gripping it tight.
A breath.Request Full Script

FeatureThe Man I Left Behind
When a man survives a devastating accident, he awakens with a fractured memory that halts at his twenties. His journals, home videos, and photographs become his only guides as he struggles to reconnect with the family he no longer remembers. For his wife and children, each day becomes a painful reminder that the man they love no longer sees them as part of his story. Torn between grief for the life he’s lost and determination to build a new one, he must decide whether identity is defined by memory; or by the choices he makes moving forward. The Man I Left Behind is a deeply emotional exploration of resilience, love, and the fragile nature of self.

Director’s Statement
Statement forthcomingWriter’s Statement
Michael’s video recordings aren’t a plot device. They’re a lifeline. They’re a man trying to leave breadcrumbs for a future version of himself. Not instructions. Not ego. Just evidence.
The story isn’t really about memory loss. It’s about identity without memory. If you lose the narrative of who you were, what remains? Is love something you remember... or something you choose again?
Michael doesn’t “get fixed.” He doesn’t magically recover what was lost. Instead, he has to decide whether the man on the screen... the husband, father, business owner... is someone he wants to become again. That choice matters more than recall.Selected Script Excerpt
INT. REHABILITATION ROOM – DAY (WEEK 4)
Soft afternoon light filters through the blinds.
The room is tidy, calm; distant laughter drifts in from a therapy session down the hall.
Michael sits upright by the window, hospital band still around his wrist, flipping through a magazine he isn’t really reading.
The door opens slowly.
MARIE (O.S.)
You have a visitor.
Michael looks up.
JEFFERY (14) stands in the doorway; tall for his age, backpack over one shoulder. Guarded. Curious.
They study each other; two strangers linked by a word neither can quite hold yet.
MARIE (CONT’D)
I’m going to get a drink.
The door closes softly.
A beat.
MICHAEL
(soft, awkward)
Hey, uh... buddy.
JEFFERY
Hi, Dad.
The word lands... not harsh, not warm.
Just honest.
MICHAEL
You, uh... must be my son.
JEFFERY
Yeah. Mom said you lost years.
Not bitter. Just true.
MICHAEL
Yeah. I guess so.
Silence.
JEFFERY
What’s it like?
MICHAEL
Forgetting?
Michael looks out the window.
MICHAEL (CONT’D)
It’s like waking up in someone
else’s life...
and everyone’s waiting for you to remember how to live it.
Jeffery nods, absorbing it.
MICHAEL
I’m sorry I don’t remember you.
You don’t deserve that.
JEFFERY
It’s not your fault.
No anger. No hesitation.
Just truth.
Michael swallows hard.
MICHAEL
You’re a good kid.
JEFFERY
Mom says I get that from you.
A breath. A crack.
JEFFERY
Get some sleep, okay?
MICHAEL
Yeah. I’ll try.
Jeffery turns to leave. Stops.
JEFFERY
Night, Dad.
Michael watches the doorway after he’s gone.
His breath trembles.
And finally... he lets himself cry.

FeatureDivision of the Soul
Picking up after Horizon of the Soul, Josh takes Sylvie to court to demand visitation with their daughter Lily. What follows is a decade of legal warfare as Sylvie manipulates the system and slowly turns Lily against him. Along the way, Josh finds solace with a new partner and builds a family that brings him stability and peace. Yet even with that foundation, the custody battle gnaws at him year after year. When Lily is 17, Josh finally files for full custody; only for new allegations to rise against him. Unwilling to drag his daughter through further turmoil, Josh walks away. Division of the Soul is a raw, unflinching portrait of endurance, manipulation, and the heartbreaking cost of letting go. A grounded companion to Horizon of the Soul.
Status: Outline completed - draft underwayWriter’s Statement
In Division of the Soul, Josh’s story is fictional, but the pressure that breaks him isn’t. It comes from real systems, real power imbalances, and real moments where doing the right thing carries consequences no one warns you about. I’ve lived inside those moments; where integrity costs you your livelihood, where speaking up makes you a problem to be removed, and where survival means deciding what parts of yourself you’re willing to lose...

FeatureLight of the Soul
Years after the custody battle, Josh has moved on from Lily and embraced a new life with his wife and children.

His sister admits to intentionally getting him in trouble as a boy, and he realizes she was the “golden child,” the root of his strained relationship with honesty. Meanwhile, Josh restores his father’s motorcycle, only to be scammed by the mechanic, forcing him into court once again. As he writes his will, Josh disowns his sister and the mother who enabled her, drawing firm lines against the family that failed him. Encouraged by his wife, he rediscovers his love of writing, and in the final scene, finishes the script for Horizon of the Soul. Light of the Soul is an introspective drama about truth, legacy, and reclaiming one’s story.

FeatureThe Space Between the Lives
Kaiya, a Black woman navigating school and young adulthood, begins to notice cracks in reality: shifting objects, déjà vu, and journal entries she doesn’t recall writing. What start as subtle distortions escalate into repeated days, cryptic warnings, and fleeting visions of a glowing figure. As her reality destabilizes, the pattern points toward something larger than memory. When Kaiya dies, she awakens in a luminous space and confronts the being behind her fractured existence. In their dialogue, she learns the truth about fate and free will; but when she is sent back to live her life again, she carries no conscious memory of the lives before. The Space Between the Lives is a suspenseful, deeply emotional exploration of reincarnation, identity, and the hidden threads that connect each life we live, even when we can’t remember them.

FeatureThe Depths Below
When marine biologist Alex is turned into a vampire, he discovers even sunlight reflected off of the moon, burns his skin. Refusing to vanish into legend, he studies vampirism as a biological condition and proposes a radical solution: survival in the ocean depths. A hidden colony forms in undersea caves, lit by algae and sustained by the blood of great whales. But the trench is no refuge; military discovery and predators of the deep force Alex to confront whether adaptation is enough, or if survival will demand becoming something new.

FeatureFractured Echoes
A new phenomenon spreads through the world: the moment someone consciously wonders about a path not taken, they awaken in the life where they made that choice. A marriage never ended, a military career never left behind, a decision once discarded suddenly restored. But in each shift, only their original memories remain; memories that no longer match the reality around them. As more people fall victim to these fractures, identity and truth unravel, raising a terrifying question: if your past can change in an instant, how do you know which life is yours? Fractured Echoes is a haunting, suspense-driven drama about the weight of choice, the danger of regret, and the fragility of reality itself.

FeatureConfession by Way of Detour
A man sits down for what should be a straightforward police interrogation. Instead of clarity, his testimony launches into an endless string of bizarre misadventures: strange jobs, surreal fistfights, and tangents that derail themselves as soon as they begin. The detective struggles to keep him on track, but each detour only raises more questions about what really happened; or whether anything he says is true. Anchored by a recurring refrain that surfaces at the most inopportune times, his story finally lands on a revelation so anticlimactic it borders on tragic. Confession by Way of Detour is an absurdist comedy about unreliable narration, nonlinear storytelling, and how sometimes the longest confessions are the least revealing.

FeatureNorthborn
In the early 11th century, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, daughter of Erik the Red and sister to Leif Erikson, joins the Viking voyages to Vinland. While her brothers are remembered as explorers, Freydís is remembered in contradictions: a fearless shieldmaiden who, while pregnant, grabbed a sword and drove off attackers; and a ruthless leader accused of treachery and bloodshed. Drawing from the sagas and archaeological evidence of Viking presence in North America, Northborn reclaims her story as both history and legend; the tale of a woman who carved her name into the edge of the world, no matter the cost.

FeatureHeart of the Storm
Riona, captain of the Sable Wraith, steals a relic that carries a deadly curse: she has only a year left to live.

From surviving sirens to robbing greedy nobles, they carve out joy, justice, and adventure on the open seas. But as the curse tightens, Riona realizes the love she refused to seek has been with her all along; in the bonds of her found family. Heart of the Storm is a PG-rated swashbuckling adventure that blends rollicking action with heartfelt emotion, proving that true treasure lies in loyalty and love.

FeatureBeneath the Design
A discovery in reptilian genome sequencing resurrects an ancient truth: the Hydra was real, not myth, its biology written into nature’s earliest designs. What begins as a scientific breakthrough quickly escalates as the restored Hydra reveals rapid adaptation, regenerative power, and toxic defenses that make it nearly indestructible. Governments and militaries see only a weapon, while the public sees only terror. Standing between them is Dr. Marie King, an autistic biologist who turned to science after being rejected from the military she once dreamed of joining, finds herself at the center of the chaos; seeking to heal rather than destroy. But as the world edges toward war with a creature born of nature itself, she must decide whether humanity’s instinct to kill is more dangerous than the Hydra’s instinct to survive. Beneath the Design is a tense, mythic thriller that asks whether evolution is chaos... or intention.

Feature • DramaMan Up
After returning home from deployment, Elijah struggles to adjust to civilian life. Nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness slowly erode his relationships. When he finally breaks his silence and confides in his wife, Tanya, her cold response - “Man up and deal with it” - becomes the echo that haunts him. The story follows Elijah as he drifts between isolation and fragile hope: counseling sessions he nearly attends, the brother who sees the warning signs, the quiet rituals that tether him to reality. As his world closes in, flashbacks blur with present-day triggers, revealing the invisible scars he carries. This is not a war film; it’s the battle after the war, fought in living rooms, kitchens, and the spaces where men are told to be strong.
