synopsis.
FRIDAY
​
LOUIS Weber, a disillusioned New York writer, hurriedly returns to his picturesque hometown in the Alpine Valais region to claim his inheritance after his father's recent passing. Their relationship was strained, fueled by Louis blaming him for his mother's tragic death. The notary's secretary informs him his potential inheritance will be withheld until Monday, leaving him with a weekend to fill. She advises accommodation at a local bed and breakfast.
​
SATURDAY
​
At the B&B, in an attempt to distract himself and ease his inner turmoil, Louis decides to write a scathing novel that goes after Swiss people as a whole. He draws inspiration from Stefi, the intriguing and unconventional daughter of the B&B owner, who longs to escape the confines of the Valais. Delving into the secrets and conflicts of his fellow guests, Louis manipulates their experiences for his literary creation, unaware that Stefi is gradually warming up to him. As the weekend progresses, strange nightmares begin to distort his perception of reality.
​
SUNDAY
​
A fierce snowstorm engulfs the town, forcing two unexpected guests, a father and son farmers, to seek refuge at the chalet. With a power outage, all guests gather around the crackling hearth, providing Louis the perfect opportunity to instigate even more conflicts among them. Leveraging his knowledge of their vulnerabilities, he heightens everyone’s emotional turmoil.
​
​MONDAY
​
As the dawn breaks, Louis engages in a profound and unexpected exchange with the two farmers. In their humble presence, he confronts his past head-on and the truth, finding a path to redemption for both his late father and himself.

Producer
​
I've been producing multi-media content internationally for over 20 years while living in North America, Europe and Scandinavia. This has included feature films, documentaries, live event video webcasts, broadcast tv productions and corporate videos.
On the education side, I'm teaching workshops and webinars that cover the feature film development process from A to Z. Filmmakers are then fully prepared to present their projects for investment opportunities.
As a screenwriter, my narrative focuses around a higher consciousness of storytelling rather than repetitive mainstream stories driven by violence.
While based in Switzerland for seven years as Executive Producer of World Television, I contracted and managed large scale live broadcast event productions for Fortune 500 companies and United Nations agencies highlighted by the World Economic Forum's annual Davos conference.
