THEATER OF THE WORDS: A Legacy of Adaptable IP

The Vision: High-Concept, Historically Grounded.

​

​Welcome to the Theater of the Words, a curated library of over fifteen high-concept speculative properties designed for the modern cinematic landscape. My work occupies the "Sweet Spot" of the industry: the intersection of meticulous historical authenticity and pulse-pounding "What-If" narratives. From the deep-state conspiracies of the 1960s—backed by research cited in an interview witht the Sixth Floor Museum Oral History Project in Dallas, Texas—to the hard-boiled grit of the American Century, these are stories built on the foundation of "Secret History."

The Catalog: From Prestige Series to Contained Thrillers

​

Whether you are seeking a multi-season flagship series like the Patch Kincaid-JFK Assassination saga or a high-tension, contained feature like the Hitchcockian 1947:The Platform, this portfolio offers diverse, scalable options. My work covers the full spectrum of high-demand genres: Multiple Time-Travel Anthologies (Passageways), Neo-Noir Crime (Sam Crud), and grounded Blue-Collar Sci-Fi (Kron Man). Every property is crafted with a clear "Hook," a defined "World," and a built-in audience of "Smart Sci-Fi" and "Alternative History" enthusiasts.

​

The Performance-Driven Advantage

​

In an industry where time is the ultimate currency, my portfolio is uniquely Production-Ready. As a professional voice performer, I have personally produced and performed cinematic audiobooks for the entire catalog. These act as "Audio-Scripts," providing directors and showrunners with a blueprint for tone, characterization, and pacing before a single frame is shot. Explore the loglines below and experience the "Audio-Proof of Concept" for each property.

Key properties available for adaptation include:​

​​

  • The Patch Kincaid Series (JFK Assassination/Time Travel): A high-stakes, historical epic with 843 footnotes where a time-traveler is thrust into the center of the 1960s' most pivotal moments—from the Bay of Pigs to the corridors of Dealey Plaza. With deep historical research (noted by my inclusion in the Sixth Floor Museum Oral History Project), this series offers a "Man in the High Castle" meets "11/22/63" appeal.

  • The Matthias Jones Mysteries: A series featuring a basketball coach turned reluctant investigator in a quirky New Hampshire town. These stories blend the small-town charm of Knives Out with a unique, humorous voice that is ripe for a procedural or limited series adaptation. Knives Out meets Murder, She Wrote

  • Key "Property

  • If you are looking at this for adaptation or classification, the Matthias Jones series stands out because of:

  • ​

  • ​​
  • The "Everyman" Intuition: Unlike forensic experts, Matthias relies on "side road theories" and hunches. He isn't a professional investigator; he is "inexorably drawn" into cases by his own sense of justice.​

  • ​

  • The Humor: Fitton describes the series as Un Mystère Plein d'Humour. It balances grim murder (the "Prince William Slasher") with "local yokels" and bumbling characters that provide a comedic, almost Coen-brothers-esque texture to the mysteries.​

  •  

  •  Sojourn Series: A Special Ops soldier fleeing a broken heart is thrust into a secret war that spans from the underground bunkers of Earth to a cross-dimensional battle for the soul of the universe.

  • Sojourn combines the gritty, tactical realism of Tom Clancy with the mind-bending metaphysical world-building of The Twilight Zone and Dune. It is a multi-seasonal arc that evolves from a Military Tech-Thriller (Season 1) into a Space Opera Mythos (Seasons 2-4).

  • ​
  • ​

  • ​

  • The Reluctant Hero: Tom Loftus is the emotional anchor. His journey isn't fueled by a desire for glory, but by the memory of the rural life and the woman (Kath) he left behind. Every light-year he travels is a desperate attempt to find his way back to "normal."

  • The Intergalactic Passageway: A central mystery involving government-controlled ancient technology and an "Inter-Galactic Passageway" located near the Earth's magnetic core.

  • The Transhuman Threat: The series explores the "uncanny valley" of warfare, featuring Creod aliens and transhuman beings that challenge what it means to be human.

  • The Ta-Buhn-Shar Mythos: A deep, "ancient aliens" style lore involving a disappeared ancestral race and a tyrannical villain, Sard, who seeks to control the "Amperage" of the universe.
