SONG FOR THE ASKING
(Feature - Drama)
A family man survives the terrorist attacks of 9/11, only to discover another enemy lurking within, threatening to destroy his family.
"The first ten pages are some of the strongest I've seen in an un-produced screenplay. The imagery was vivid, with smaller details added to make the reader feel like they were really there. I was impressed from the very beginning." ~ Coverfly Peer Review
