Pitch Deck Coming Soon
The Crimson Pool
Psychodrama/ Thriller
Determined to give the author who publicly humiliated her a piece of her mind, entitled aspiring writer Jessica Miller instead discovers reclusive crime author W. M. Kramer dead in his home and seizes the opportunity to finish writing his new novel and steal acclaim for herself. It’s already a messy plan — and then Kramer wakes up.
"[Daniel does] such a great job at subtly shifting the power dynamics between Jessica and Walter throughout the story. It's a bold move to have a protagonist who makes such insane choices pretty much from the first page. Jessica becomes increasingly unhinged, but there's a sense of internal logic for her actions that makes her totally empathetic and easy to root for."

The Empress of DäGar
Sci Fi/ Action/ Drama
Searching for her mother’s killer, Maya teams up with Lareena, a woman claiming to be a warrior from space in search of a way home, but who may actually be an escapee from an institution.
"[Daniel] has crafted some staggering beautiful descriptions from the very start, yet it's the final ones that really move us so deeply as Lareena finds [spoiler] again and Maya once again [spoiler]. The story comes full circle, but now we're in a place of light, healing, and joy. Messages like this have the power to uplift audiences, and this couldn't be more timely."

The Great Zombie Recess War
Horror/ Young Adult/ Adventure
A zombie breakout hits the small town of Creekridge on the final day of fourth grade, forcing Sam and his friends to defend their elementary school at all costs while confronting the school bully.
"[Daniel's script uses] the zombie trope in an interesting way, highlighting issues and concerns affecting young people while still being entertaining, with good action and characters.
...
I like that you develop complex relationships between [the kids]. Too many scripts have kids' friendships and animosities as black and white, but you find the layers between."
