In Development
One taste changed everything.
After breaking kosher and blowing up his life in Brooklyn, a restless young Hasidic Jew escapes to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where his attempt to reinvent himself as a Chesapeake waterman sparks culture clash, community chaos, and an unexpected romance with an Amish woman—forcing him to choose between the world he came from and the life he wants to build for himself.

They came to build a game. They became part of one.
Two well-meaning but naïve American grads travel to China to manufacture their dream board game, only to be pulled into the ruthless world of corporate banquets, where they become “designated drinkers” navigating power games, deception, and cultural warfare far beyond anything they expected as they fight to survive and reclaim what’s theirs.

The miracle isn’t the problem.
A college kid in Los Angeles begins performing unexplainable acts, and as footage spreads, media, religious institutions, and opportunists compete to define him before he can define himself. He didn’t choose to be seen. Now he can’t disappear.

Co-Founder · Writer · Producer
Dan is a writer and producer whose storytelling draws on a career in the U.S. Navy, the experience of building a business from the ground up, and a lifetime of remarkable people and unexpected adventures.
His screenplays explore redemption, resilience, family, humor, and the surprising connections that bring people together. From Maryland’s Eastern Shore to worlds rarely seen on screen, Dan looks for stories that feel discovered rather than invented—and that stay with audiences long after the credits roll.
