| CROWNING
INFAMY (1978) |
free |
The first
one I wrote - a wordy Western about the Johnson County
War. It was penned in a Screenwriting
class at UCLA.
Michael Cimino's film, HEAVEN'S
GATE, was based on the same historical events -
but didn't take advantage of my 147-page script,
for some reason!

TIn 1978,
I wrote this 'last
chance' tale of Liverpudlian musicians who become
robbers to fund their album. Read in horror my
attempts to write a script in dialect! Nevertheless,
Lindsay Anderson was interested in directing it.
The script won the Jack Nicholson Screenwriting Prize
at UCLA, which helped to fund EDGE CITY. It is a massive
147 pp, which is far too many pages for a good screenplay.

TOO
KOOL TO DIE (1980)

Britain's greatest punk band, and of Ringo Shiv,
their bassist, and his doomed American love affair.

earlier, more political version. (acPDF7)
