CURRENT FILMS:
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.
