“CODEINE”
(original TV drama series)
Maureen “Codeine” Barber is the junkie-loser of her Wild West Virginia town, strung out on soldier’s joy and a laundry list of other narcotics. When a phone call unearths dark truths about what happened to her brother in the Iraq War, it forces her out of a years-long opiate daze. With sheer will, cleverness, and a fierce commitment to making “amends” of the violent, Old Testament persuasion - the CODEINE way - she goes undercover as the linchpin in a precarious cold war between local cops, bumpkin oligarchs, and a mercenary army in order to better understand what happened to her brother in Iraq and biblically punish those responsible.
THIRTEEN SILVER DOLLARS
(screenplay)
In smoggy 1860s Pittsburgh - at the height of the steel industry - a band of pissed-off outcasts, homeless travelers, steel workers, and Civil War vets arrive at the doorstep of millionaire and national treasure Andrew Carnegie, armed with a guillotine and a tall list of demands. The leader of this outfit is the Irishman who Carnegie paid to serve as his surrogate in the Union Army.
