NEW PROJECTED TIMELINE
Although I am officially on hiatus my mind keeps thinking and planning ahead. I wonder how long it will be before I finally surrender to this "hiatus" and pick up one of my unfinished scripts to complete it? But I have decided that once I return from Europe I shall go into pre production of the feature film "A Wound In Time".

At least that's what my mind is telling me. In January I will officially end my hiatus and we shall see what we have... Stay tuned.
