Someone’s  Comin’ Hungry
    April, 1969…An older black veteran of the World War II black tank battalion that saved encircled American forces at Bastogne and never received credit for their heroism and losses…his son a young Vietnam war hero suffering serious PTSD, trying to live a responsible life as husband of a very pregnant, activist, white wife… the two men have never been close, have never revealed the depth of their combat experiences… a beautiful, mature black dancer who lives upstairs and falls for the black father… the assassination of Martin Luther King brings all their relationships into a new dimension.

You Call This Love
    A young semi-Buddhist/carpenter is hot for a tough-talking young woman artist/bike-messenger who reaches out to every homeless person she sees on the street.  The bike messenger finds her heart opening up to the carpenter’s ailing, elderly, funny, politically and spiritually radical foster mother and finds herself changed forever by both relationships.

Car  
    Two lonely men are brought together when one comes to examine a car for sale in the other’s driveway.   The dance of buying and selling leads to revelations about each other’s life, and to a moment when the overwrought Seller threatens to shoot the prospective Buyer, strangely bringing them to a deep acceptance of each other’s totally different lives.   Based on the play Car by McCrea Imbrie and Neil Selden, which appeared regionally in the USA and Germany, and at the Berlin Festival.

Roll, China, Roll!  
    About to be evicted from his high-roller Central Park hotel digs, a professional gambler who loves women, treats them royally, but never commits, has been completely deserted by Lady Luck.   He receives in the mail a glass eye from the friend who lost his eye twenty years earlier saving China’s life in a drug gang war.   A note with the glass eye reads: ‘You owe me one, so I’m asking.   Running on empty, you sonofabitch, get down here fast!  Your old friend Jerry, the asshole who saved your ass.’
    That night, in a crap game, the glass eye becomes a talisman that starts China on a fantastic winning streak, and China, who hates flying, hires a Manhattan cabdriver to take him down south to Jerry.   The journey south, filled with adventure and the company of a gorgeous woman he meets on the road-- Truly Camino-- leads China to challenges and changes beyond anything he imagined.

The Day The War Went Away
    Three disabled war veterans visit Manhattan only hours before the town goes wild with the news from President Truman that the Japanese have surrendered.   All three men fall head-over-heels for a ship welder/sculptor whose fiancé died in the arms of one of the veterans.   The emotional consequences for them all, during New York City’s wildest party, are memorable.

Sam Dead
    A woman psychiatrist suffers panic attacks after the death and possible suicide of her charming, gambling-addicted cosmetic surgeon husband.   She finds herself seeking out a series of one-night stands, and falls in love with a diamond-in-the-rough, intellectual bartender. Her relationship with the bartender brings her into a new and nurturing connection with her daughter, who is pregnant with the dead father’s child.
