Wife For Sale
All Dan Curtis wants is a wife. Not a life partner, not a significant other, not a soul mate... but a wife -- an old-fashioned, cook-the-dinner, clean-the-house, raise-the-kids, sexually-satisfy-the-husband kind of wife. But June Cleaver was half a century ago -- that kind of woman is extinct. Today's woman has evolved; she wants and expects it all. And so, unable to find a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad, Dan imports a submissive mail-order bride from Japan—an Asian Barbie Doll. Keiko is everything Dan ever dreamed of -- his ideal woman, whose only thoughts are to make Dan happy. Life is sheer bliss, until a few American women get their hands on Keiko and begin the process of setting her straight. Before long, Keiko has transformed into a mature, intelligent fully-evolved, modern woman who can think for herself and who wants and expects it all – in other words, Dan’s worst nightmare.

Mind Tamer (co-written with Gabriel Grunfeld)
An 18-page treatment for a martial arts action-adventure epic. A futuristic odyssey with the hard-edged visual excitement of Ridley Scott and they mythical grandeur of George Lucas.
