BUILT FROM SCRATCH · FEATURE DOC (wrapped)
Logline: A young Michelin-starred chef races to secure his legacy amid lawsuits, COVID closures, and imitators, as his friend and filmmaker searches for the man beneath the myth.
• CHEF BEHIND MULTIPLE MICHELIN-STARRED RESTAURANTS • JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE REGULAR •
Phillip Frankland Lee has built his career by refusing to wait for permission. Relentlessly ambitious, fiercely creative, and often polarizing, he has spent more than a decade turning improbable ideas into restaurants recognized at the highest levels of American dining.
Built From Scratch follows Phillip from inside the controversy, expansion, and relentless pursuit of what comes next. But as filmmaker Adam Christy gets closer to his longtime friend, the portrait begins to change—and the film starts asking questions neither of them expected.
IGGY & WILDE · dark COMEDY · FEATURE (in dev.)
Logline: After a jealous Gen X fan publicly exposes two social media gurus as frauds, they set out for revenge by living their best lives—as shameless criminals.
What makes Iggy and Wilde distinct is the way it drags the romantic crime story and dark comedy into the age of fame worship, pop spirituality, and manufactured identity.
At its center is a generational collision: people desperate to become someone else, someone younger, freer, more visible, more relevant.
Even if it kills them.
BANDO · HORROR thriller · FEATURE (pre-pro)
Logline: A brilliant but unstable artist heads into the Ozark Mountains with his best friends to drop acid and accidentally awakens a monster bent on killing them all—from the inside out.
Inspired by Carl Jung’s ideas of the shadow and collective unconscious, and rooted in classic American folklore, the film’s Monster is both archetypal and terrifyingly real.
It may carry metaphor, but it is no metaphor on screen: a physical, overwhelming presence with the immediacy of IT or JAWS—something ancient, familiar, and impossible to outrun.
Hit men · music drama · Tv series (in dev.)
Logline: In the aftermath of the 1967 Detroit riots, an ambitious high school graduate sets out to become the youngest promotion man Warner Bros. Records has ever hired—if he can keep up with rock radio’s first female DJ.
• SEMI-FINALIST • WESCREENPLAY TV PILOT LAB • 2020
Blending the coming-of-age warmth of John Hughes with the wit, ache, and musical romanticism of Cameron Crowe, HIT MEN is a story about ambition, reinvention, and finding your place inside a culture changing faster than you can keep up.
But the thing that makes the world truly come alive is simple:
THE F*ING MUSIC.**
