Little Buddha

In his dream house in Big Sur, everything is exactly as planned.

The Lucy House:

Disaster in the Desert

Here’s what happens when you bring together a 68-year-old Jew-hating angry gay man, with a 65-year-old prostitute-banging, gambling, psychic Vietnam vet, with a

64-year-old, one-eyed, sleep-disordered, 24/7 pill-popping, washed up frat boy with a young explosive American boy with Texas and Bronx instincts who's madly in love with the boss’s daughter.

Egg Child

When Sarah decided to donate her eggs to help her Dad, she never thought she’d end up scrambled. A tale of fried nerves, cracked brains, and sunny-side-up hopes.

It starts in the secrets of Sicily, creeps across the seas, up to your back patio door.

Hunger Strike

     You can make me be quiet

Dieting is more important than living. Less is more. Speaking up is impossible, until someone needs help.
