About this submission

When a black man with an anxiety disorder finds himself on a rare date, Homeland Security interrupts to inform him that his wife has been murdered and involved him in international espionage surrounding a stolen prototype. The only problem, he's not married.

This feature spy-thriller uses suspense, action, and awkward comedy to explore the mental illness of anxiety as a disability. It also touches on themes of race and gender to further deepen the narrative. Follow Kendrick Reed as he desperately works to keep it together where staying alive is secondary to staying in control of himself.

This version is a few revisions in. There are some areas that I can tell could be improved upon, perhaps be scrapped an re-written but I've gotten to the point of not being able to see the forest for the trees. I would love some fresh eyes on it with potential ideas on how it could be refined. Thanks for the help!

I draw on my Neurominority, multi-disabled, non-binary identity to broaden society's cultural horizons through epic stories.

With a background in traditional filmmaking, I refined my creative voice as a social media influencer. Both as a social media consultant and disability representation in media consultant I help disability representation become a part of the media landscape. This social media background has shaped my fast-paced genre writing that blends contemporary issues into entertaining thrill-rides that ultimately examine the human condition through the lens of equitable disability representation. I help people laugh at themselves and cry for others, cast off their troubles and find their joy, see the invisible and hear silence. I use fiction to tell the truth. more...
