I have many scripts finished that aren't horror, I have action films, romance films I think writing "chick flicks" is alot of fun believe it or not. Some of my favorite movies of all time are romantic comedies and romantic movies films like I Love You Beth Cooper and It's Kind of A Funny Story are great films in my opinion .
After Wicked Carnival in 2017 and the conclusion of the Sins of Man trilogy in 2018 I may work on a romantic movie or a coming of age story, who knows what the future holds for me as an artist and writer ...
