UNAKA-2022
​
The world is often uncertain, chaotic and unfair. Life may reward you or punish you. These are the issues of UNAKA.
​
Struggle marks the lives of the people of UNAKA. The characters range from Mickey-a 4 yo boy who had never spoken, Elena-a 30 yo divorcee who is cynical about life, and Sobia-a Pakistani national living in America.
​
The characters of UNAKA are not the fortunate nor the lucky. Rather, they make their way through an often grim reality grasping onto happiness where-ever they find it.
HOLSTON-2024
​
Carl is a millionaire. He lives in a broken down motel with his three dogs. Life is better that way. Arthur and Trudy had difficulty getting together. Loneliness is the glue of their relationship. Gwyneth's parents threw her out. Elena took her in. That was Elena's first mistake.
