Currently, Mike is raising funds & assembling the core team for the first feature length film production of one of 15 screenplays in various writing stages at Around the Clock Productions, a company he & wife Shauna started at the incarnation of ON DUTY in 1998.
Of all of their screenplays, they first selected to launch their company into the feature film world with THE TROPHY CASE ⓒ. Chosen because of it's crime / thriller genre, a genre that the investment is most easily recouped in pre-sales / distribution over-seas alone.
tag-line: What if, what starts out as a series of murders inspired by the nine levels of hell in Dante's Inferno, catapults a street wise city cop into wilderness survival, while tracking a sadistic taxidermist who uses the skins of his victims to create his own guide out of hell, the angel, Beatrice. Would he be able to solve the case if he's up against a serial killer with wilderness survival skills? SILENCE OF THE LAMBS meets SE7EN only better...
