The Summer of 67'
When a directionless young man from a traditional Greek family in Los Angeles agrees to act as a courier for a family friend entangled in an illicit intelligence operation tied to covert U.S. officials, he sees it as a chance to prove himself. But once in Vietnam, what begins as controlled information transfer spirals into a deadly web of betrayal, shifting allegiances, and moral compromise — forcing him to confront the true cost of manhood, loyalty, and survival.
The script blends grounded wartime tension with intimate character drama, occupying a tonal space similar to Hacksaw Ridge and Argo — combining suspense-driven plotting with an emotional father-son spine.
Hidden Steps: Behind th Veil
Hidden Steps follows a young man drifting through life, wrestling with doubt and direction, when a series of unexplainable events forces him to confront the possibility that his struggles are not merely internal. As his path unfolds, we glimpse the unseen spiritual conflict influencing his destiny. Ultimately, he is faced with a defining choice: self-preservation, or the sacrifice that will alter another life — and generations beyond — in ways he will never fully see.
Hidden Steps grounds its spiritual elements in emotional realism, focusing on character and consequence rather than spectacle. The film explores how ordinary lives may carry extraordinary weight, and how a single act of courage can ripple far beyond its moment.
When Darkness Knocks
When a man struggling with his belief system begins experiencing increasingly disturbing encounters that may be psychological or spiritual in origin, he must confront whether the darkness surrounding him is a manifestation of trauma — or something far more intentional. As reality fractures and the stakes escalate, he is forced into a final confrontation that will either destroy him or redefine his faith.
The script is grounded, tension-driven, and character-focused — positioned in the tonal space of elevated thrillers such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Prisoners, where moral conflict drives suspense rather than spectacle. This screenplay explores how formative trauma can alter our perception and leave us vulnerable to outside influences beyond our control. ‘When Darkness Knocks’ interweaves the thematic genres of faith, spirituality, trauma recovery, mental illness, loss, grief, suicidal ideation, and ultimately light triumphing over darkness in one thrilling package.
The Bench
The Bench is a character-driven short exploring regret, identity, and the quiet turning points that shape a life. Centered on a man confronted by both his younger and future selves in unexpected encounters, the story examines missed opportunities and the courage required to change course before it’s too late. Exploring themes of loss, trauma, healing, and redemption – THE BENCH tackles these sensitive topics with a touch of humor, on a supernatural nexus in time disguised as an ordinary park bench.
The script was named a finalist for Short Films at the 2025 Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards and has resonated for its emotional restraint and thematic depth.
