Book Adaptation to Film
Jeff developed a friendship with OlyArts founder and former arts magazine publisher Ned Hayes, who also happened to be a published author of the best selling novel, "The Eagle Tree."
​
Ned, impressed with the work of Sky Bear Media and the community service work Jeff put into building up a film community with OlyFilm, has offered up "The Eagle Tree" for development into a film.
​
Jeff is currently writing the screenplay.
​
I have not enjoyed an autistic novel as much since The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. The Eagle Tree’s beautifully written narrator is a real joy—March Wong is an unexpected leader, who remains true to himself and prevails. The Eagle Tree will leave an indelible mark on your heart. —Susan Senator, New York Times featured author of Making Peace with Autism and Autism Adulthood
Distant Thunder: A Native American Pop Musical
Amas Musical Theatre is producing this new Native American pop musical written by Shaun Taylor Corbett and Lynne Taylor Corbett with music by Chris Wiseman, which is having preview shows September 25-October 2 and opening off-Broadway October 3-27th.
​
Jeff is cast as White Feather in this first of its kind production. He is very happy to be part of this ground breaking project that brings Indigenous people to the NYC stage, a dream he's always wanted to experience. He thanks his wife, Shana, his business partner Riley Gibson, and his family for allowing him to represent on the off-Broadway stage.
​
The multifaceted cast is made up of brilliant performers who bring their all to each role...It's truly a cultural celebration and every Oklahoman should be proud to witness it. - Broadway World
