Way to go Allen and Jane, fellow short listers and New Englanders.
My short list script takes place on the coast of RI and Connecticut. I also have a pilot about lobstermen in the Gulf of Maine.
We live in a part of the world that offers breathtaking settings and hundreds of compelling stories.

congratulations on Ranger.
