Brad is currently writing an action-road trip-comedy entitled Travel Nanny, as well as a broad comedy, Pre-Schooled, set in the world of an exclusive Chicago preschool.
Brad is very excited to have optioned Katrina Kittle‘s third novel, The Kindness of Strangers, which he will adapt and produce. The material, about a broken family healing itself by taking in a sexually abused child far more broken than they are, is clearly a departure for Brad, but the book is stunning, cinematic, and compelling; a ready-made movie that presents a challenging role for a talented leading actress.
Harmony, a script that won the Hitchcock Scholarship when Brad was at USC, and was later a finalist for both the Sundance and Chesterfield screenwriting labs, has been optioned by director Stu Pollard of Lunacy Unlimited Productions. Harmony tells the story of a white man and a black woman who were once on opposite sides of a fire hose during the civil rights movement, only to later find themselves living across the hall from each other in a retirement home. Brad is attached to produce.
Partnering with Mark Shepherd and David Weber, Brad is developing a one-hour dramatic TV pilot, The Living Desert, centered around the Fountain of Youth. He is also writing a sitcom pilot, Bad Dads, and the sitcom/web series, H.O.A. (Home Owners Association).
Brad earned a Written By credit for his rewrite on what will be the first theatrical lacrosse movie to ever be released. Crooked Arrows is the story of a a Native American team reclaiming the sport as their own in New York state. The project is slated to be released this spring, starring Superman Returns‘ Brandon Routh.
Finally, Brad is excited to be working with director and Spalding University colleague, Sam Zalutsky, to develop and produce former student Jon Lucas Murphy’s fantastic horror script, Bit, which, set in the hills of Kentucky, offers an exciting new take on the werewolf genre.
