This section is a list of various creative projects that I have written over the past thirty years. The art of screenwriting fueled my imagination and creativity exploring stories of myth and history and through personal and past life experiences. Although none of these creative endeavors have made it to the big screen, they are worthy of further production development. If you are interested in reading one of the scripts listed, then contact Vincent at the email below.
