A few years ago, I became fascinated by several cops & robbers cable series produced by BBC. The Silent Heart is the product of this fascination. I wrote this story with a miniseries in mind. Currently, four scripts are completed and ready for miniseries format. The story, however, can be weaved further into a full crime-drama, episodic series with the initial four scripts as a miniseries pilot season.
The Silent Heart
Genre: Crime Drama / Miniseries
This crime-story tale is foremost a love story and it follows one family through two generations. Homicide detective Gabriel Hamelton, a man driven through life only by passion for his work, has his hands full. A high profile jewel heist goes wrong -- two cops and three robbers are dead. But the jewels are still missing. And there are no clues. An old cop at the precinct points out a similarity of this case to another, a twenty five year old bank robbery gone wrong with similar dire circumstances. In order to solve his case, Gabriel will need to first dig deep into a twenty-five year old mystery. But will his heart get in a way of his hound scent, when the time comes to make an arrest or to fall hard for his wild and beautiful prime suspect.

Written as a play, this was my first script that I optioned to a production company, later once more, to an independent producer. With an idea to shoot a spec-scene, I've ended up shooting the whole script. Additional information on this film and trailer can be viewed under the Indies section of this site.
