SOUND OF MIND - Thriller. Former mental patient Richard Keene, who suffers from claustrophobia and has abnormally acute powers of hearing, thinks he hears a woman being murdered behind the closed door of a Philadelphia high-rise apartment, a horror that parallels an experience from his childhood. As he meticulously sorts out the sounds he heard, Richard (who works as an audiologist) becomes obsessed with proving that a murder has been committed, before the many doubters he encounters have him committed once again. (PRE-PRODUCTION)

THE MAIN POINT PROJECT - Feature Documentary. The Main Point was more than just a unique place to listen to music in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The club, which was located just outside Philadelphia, was the Mecca of new, unproven artists who were given an opportunity to perform their music for a warm and accepting audience. This project will reunite many performers from the Main Point and capture the reunion concert on film. During the concert, the performers will be telling the story of the Main Point from the stage. Additional, behind-the-scenes footage will be used to construct a documentary about the Main Point that will accompany the concert film. (PRE-PRODUCTION)
