SPINE
Picture
A man paralyzed from the neck down undergoes an experimental spinal surgery with an artificial intelligence that results in both a physical
and psychological transformation that threatens not only himself but those around him as well.

NARRATIVE FEATURE. SCI-FI/HORROR.
Second Rounder 2017 Austin Film Festival
​Semifinalist 2016 ScreenCraft Sci-Fi Competition
Finalist 2018 River Bend Film Festival
“By the third act, the audience is completely on edge.” - The Black List
“The premise of surgically implanting an AI to help a quadriplegic walk again is truly fascinating. What follows is in essence the development of the relationship between the protagonist Mark and the AI Tetra. The writer treats both as distinct characters, which successfully
conveys the conflict of two souls inhabiting the same body.” ​- Cinequest
"The writer has done a fantastic job of getting the reader’s attention in the first few scenes...
This adherence to three act structure is certainly a testament to the skill and experience of the writer." - BlueCat
