We're just a coupla swells... 

Heather and ChrisWhy do we have a site?  Well, why not.  It's the Digital Age, after all. People ask what we're up to. So we direct them here.
We’re just a coupla swells… a creative team living in Greenwich Village... helping as many other artists as we can... pursuing our own creative projects, as well as our other passions....



Current Creative Projects Include...

"Bull" 
Seen through the eyes of a troubled 17-year old All Star athlete, we uncover the life of her Great Grandfather "Bull" a real life ball player from a bygone era. “Field of Dreams” meets a modern day "League of Their Own!"


Early Deadball player - could be Bull SmithThe story of a "Deadball Era" baseball player who had a "cup of coffee" in the big leagues. Based on a true story about Heather's Great Grandfather, Lewis "Bull" Smith.  Bull played with the reknowned Honus Wagner, among others, and even has a file at the Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown, NY. Chris is working with Henri Falconi, an established independent filmmaker, to develop the script, and they have now completed a first draft!
