Partnering with Jeff Keating at Doghouse Pictures, Jim co-wrote Fight Night and the Million Dollar Heist, an iHeartMedia production in association with Executive Producer Will Packer.
Universal Studios purchased our podcast and made it into FIGHT NIGHT: THE MILLION DOLLAR HEIST starring Samuel L Jackson, Kevin Hart, Don Cheadle, Terrance Howard, and Taraji P Henson.
The story weaves an incredible tale of a street hustler called Chicken Man and the cop determined to solve one of the biggest heists in Atlanta history: the Black mafia was robbed of more than a million dollars at a gambling party hosted at Chicken Man’s Atlanta home.
Fight Night’s success reaffirms Jim’s commitment to getting good stories told. That’s the reason he retired from teaching: a great story that deserves telling. And, it has become the guiding principle in his relationship with Jeff Keating and Doghouse.
Together, we produce podcasts designed–world-building, character development and dramatic tension–toward derivatives.
Fight Night models the model.
Whole characters that offer wide-range to actors to practice their craft. Conflict, contrast and tension in a world fully developed, ready-made for adaptation.
We eschew melodrama in favor of fully-realized emotions and drama.
Doghouse Pictures owns a slate of other stories Jim is excited to develop.
