About me - current project:
Bums, Inc.
A once successful, stuck up, asset stripping, Memphis banker gets fired, goes to jail, does rehab and ends up on the streets, homeless. In desperation, he forms a new business with the only asset available to him – respectable people’s distaste for bums. Together with a team of vagrants and whores, Cooper harnesses bum capabilities for his clientele, cheerfully lowering property values for their competition.
Laurels, awards and other accomplishments:
B.S. from Penn State University. M.S. and Ph. D. from University of Florida in Clinical Psychology. I have a successful private practice in Memphis, TN, but I live with my husband, two children, dogs, cat, paint horses and wild birds in Millington, TN, where my neighbors are regularly drunk and heavily armed.

Comments
hi Dee,
Thanks for your very kind comments. I live in Culver City but also have a home in Louisiana I travel where ever I need to to make the next movie. Yes I am addicted to film making. I will be at the SAC film fest and can't wait to meet all the nice people there.
Hi Dee!
I went last year. I'm hoping to attend this year, too. I met some nice people and made a great friend. His name is Richard Broadhurst and he is on the writers' panel. Maybe we will see each other, again.
Thanks. Looking forward to meet you. Friends call me Kris.
Stay blessed and ever happy.
