FUTURE ENDEAVORS

We are working on creating a short film based on the book: “To Die to Sleep Perchance to Dream”.  Fred’s insight as an undercover FBI Agent and his ability to bring his lead character to life creates dramatic tension as Judas Carlito Simeone battles a Colombian drug cartel, falls in love, and is captured and tortured.  Set in South America, as well as the U.S., the full feature film will be a love story set against a backdrop plagued with corruption, power, and retribution.

In “To Die to Sleep Perchance to Dream” the protagonist battles his deformities, his illness and his own organization to correct wrongs and help set things right. To correct these injustices, he sways along the invisible lines of right and wrong, and good and evil.

The story follows the lives of a pack of interesting characters Jude (Judas Carlito Simeone), an undercover FBI agent; his girlfriend Maria Castaño, a Colombian beauty; and Neats (Netio Alicirra), Simeone’s friend and Colombian informant are the characters that live the tragedies and successes of Colombian U.S. drug trafficking.

“To Die to Sleep Perchance to Dream” is a seamless blend of a highly relevant controversial plot about the problems of drug trafficking, corruption and incompetence in the U.S. and in the world. This story is bursting with action-oriented mystery and religious allegory.

Perfectly backed by Donner’s solid firsthand experiences in the Bureau, it is no ordinary novel. It is an eye opener and shows us that The Government will take any measure, legal or illegal, to protect the interests of the United States of America while, oftentimes, personal motives take precedence.
