Diverse, nomadic…to be Roma, or “gypsy”, is to be a member of an ethnic minority that is difficult to define in any definite, factual terms.

This is why I wrote the screenplay, The Black Triangle, a historical drama with fact blended in with fiction to create a compelling and eye opening story. I have tried to shop it to H’wood. But since I am an...
