Dr. Frick's Home for the Mentally Unique: Prepare to be Shocked

In a world being taken over by computers and robots... Where emotions are considered "chemical reactions"... One story dares to defend the Human Soul.

Dr. Frick’s Home for the Mentally Unique is a darkly funny, emotional, and entertaining adaptation of Neal Fox's original musical, Meat Street—a story of a planet that’s lost its soul. In 2001, a workshop of Meat Street finished literally, days before 9/11. America was reeling. It wasn’t the time for a show with a controversial subject: how all of life’s problems were mental diseases and the solution was a little orange pill called NoZone. But, now it’s back—and more relevant than ever. Prepare to be shocked!

Young Orson can’t fall sleep. The bad news on TV is keeping him up. Finally, he calls out for his Uncle Neal to tell him a story. Well, this isn’t your usual family. Orson is a precocious five year-old, and his uncle is a wee bit eccentric. So the story his uncle reads to him, is a real nail biter.

Three best friends, under totally difference circumstances, end up as patients at Happy Hills. Tony worries about the world and thinks he’s saving mankind by selling Lo-Flow toilets. Danielle, his rather timid fiancee, is making the world a better place by painting pretty pictures. And, Flo, a pre-op trans woman, lost in her own problems, is having second thoughts about her surgery. A collision of crises lands them on Dr. Frick’s doorstep seeking help. But there’s a darker side to Dr. Frick, which links him to Tony, a mysterious book, and man called Jon. Q. Public.

The feature-length film is scheduled for release in 2027. Script available on Kindle.
