Splendid Isolation

LATEST NEWS. Today (3 January 2025) I have completed a revision of Splendid Isolation.  Some two dozen errors have been corrected and about three dozen poorly worded expressions have been polished. 

Splendid Isolation is the most powerfully emotional of all my scripts. However, commercially, it is probably my weakest candidate for box-office success. But, then, surprises happen: how many films that were thought to have little box-office appeal have become hits?

During the holiday season, I'm looking to revise all my 12 screenplays and the one TV/streaming pilot.

During the holiday season, I'm looking to revise all my 12 screenplays and the one TV/streaming pilot. All revisions, where necessary, will update elements of the story to be true for today's (2025) world. So far, eight scripts revised, five remain.
