The screenplay for Frank’s first narrative feature,
Pilot Over Frontiers Empyrean, is a finalist for the Sundance Writer’s Lab and will shoot in 2011 in Alaska. Set in Juneau and Southwest Alaska, it is the story of a 14-year-old girl who runs away after being forced to live with the uncle who once abused her.
Frank is a Co-Producer on the Theo Van Gogh remake,
Somewhere Tonight, starring John Turturro; the film will be released in 2011. Frank is currently in pre-production on the debut feature by award-winning director Leah Meyerhoff,
Unicorns, with producer Heather Rae (
Frozen River). He is also producing the first feature by J.D. Nasaw,
Exit Music, about a pedal steel guitar player in Nashville, TN. Along with Jennifer Westin (
The Lake Effect), he's developing the 2nd feature by director David Garret (
Ten Stories Tall), a civil war horror film titled
Holy Oak.
We’re also developing another Sundance Lab Finalist script,
Kakamega, Kenya, about a teen drug-user/dealer who ends up in political violence in Kenya when he is ordered to attend an unorthodox rehabilitation program in Africa.
