CURRENT FILMS:
DANCING WITH SHADOWS, written by Dale Griffiths Stamos and directed by Deborah LaVine, stars multiple Emmy winner, Barbara Bain, Carmen Argenziano, Nicholas Gonzalez (The Good Doctor) and Kelsey Crane. Roxanne, suffering from Alzheimers, is triggered by a radio tribute to a deceased jazz musician who had once been her lover, to blur the past and present. Her dedicated husband must decide how to lovingly handle her confusing him with that lover.
ENTWINED, written and directed by Dale Griffiths Stamos, and starring Michael Dorn ("Worf" on Star Trek series) was completed in June, 2019. Entwined tells the story of two people in their sixties who find themselves standing in front of the same painting at a gallery. Joe is black and Lisa is white and over forty years ago, when in high school, they loved each other. Now they must face their troubled past, and feelings that time may not have erased.
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, written and directed by Dale Griffiths Stamos was completed in November 2018. In Dirty Little Secret, Nick thinks he can breeze through these therapy sessions with the court appointed psychologist, Dr. Dana Reynolds. After all he's Nicholas P. Berenger - he's charmed or bought himself out of worse situations than this. But soon he realizes that Dr. Reynolds may have something on him, and it's not pretty.
THE DINNER GUEST written and directed by Dale Griffiths Stamos, and starring Molly Leland, Julianna Robinson, and Kenny Johnston, was completed in August of 2017. The Dinner Guest tells the story of a woman who invites her husbands's colleague (with whom he's having an affair) to their home for dinner. Neither the husband nor the mistress know that the wife is aware of their relationship, and are thus ill-prepared for what follows.
