Trouble on Six

Trouble on Six is a story of redemption. In my feeble attempt to fix my parents, my brothers, and anyone else who needs fixin’, I disappeared, losing any sense of who I truly am. I became a control-aholic and my main objective in life was to get you to like me. All my decisions were tainted by these “isms”. The road to recovering my unapologetic, authentic self is paved with lunacy, laughter, love and light. One day at a time.

Bad Cupid

Starring John Rhys-Davies, Bad Cupid had its premiere on February 12, 2021 – Valentine’s Day weekend. This offbeat Rom-Com received rave reviews and a Fresh Tomato rating. It is available on many VOD platforms, including iTunes and Amazon. The story transforms Cupid from a sweet chubby cherub to a demented sociopath (Archie), dedicated to ensuring true love always wins… or, short of that, someone is going to die trying. (Not that Archie particularly cares which.)

The Last Jews

The Last Jews takes a humorous approach to The Jewish Problem: What if the Good Jews, Bad Jews and In-between Jews were all swept away, and all that was left were…. The last two Jews? Plus a group of conscientious do-gooders who are trying to help them from going extinct. And what if the last Jews didn’t want their help?  And the last Jews turned out to be a couple – long estranged – who can’t stand to be in the same room with each other?

“Hilarious…. A hybrid of Mel Brooks and Ionesco.”
–The Jewish Advocate
