2022 OCD wrote and produced, "DUNK DIAL," a short satirical comedy video for YouTube that took home Best Sketch Comedy at the Houston Comedy Film Festival.
In 2018-19, OCD produced the short "MACY'S GOES TO WAR," the fictional story of the unique way Macy's Department Store aided the Allied War effort in 1942 told in the style of a vintage black and white newsreel. The film is currently making its festival run.
OCD created the concept and wrote the screenplay for "DEPUTY DOUGLAS" now in post-production with Eris Zhao in Los Angeles with the working title of "The Yule Doll."
OCD's Andre and Duncan created and implemented the concept for the Children's Hospitals International Film Festival for FLICKERS to bring award winning short films from around the globe to the patients of children's hospitals across the US an around the world by partnering with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation & Seacrest Studios.
OCD produced the short film / TV pilot "HALF PINT" (aka "HALF PINT HISTORY") debuted at the 2013 Rhode Island International Film Festival. This is the story of a young boy with no interest in learning about history who suddenly finds himself transported back to Normandy in the early morning hours of the 6th of June 1944. Co-produced by Andre Stark & Duncan Putney, written & directed by Duncan Putney, with Tony Bennis as director of photography & editor. Our project was awarded the Van Gogh Award for best writing at the 2014 Amsterdam Film Festival and was a nominee for the 2022 New England Emmy Awards.
OCD created the national 7DAYPSA filmmaker competition that to date has received four Emmy nominations and one Emmy award while creating television public service announcements for many deserving non-profit organizations and getting them on the air.
OCD has been creating/developing/writing award winning public service campaigns for a the non-profit Flicker's Rhode Island International Film Festival including: "CANISTERS", "RIIFF Around the World" , and "DISCOVERY."
Projects In Production:
"DEPUTY DOUGLAS," a dark comedy short written by Duncan is currently in post production with director/DP Eris Zhao in Los Angeles.
"A ROGER WILLIAMS MINUTE" is an educational interstitial series for television with actor/historian John McNiff as 17th century Roger Williams answering questions from kids about Rhode Island, American history and civics. There are currently 21 completed one to two minute episodes with a half hour special in the planning stages.
Several OCD Associates projects will be moving from development to production in the near future.

"HALF PINT HISTORY" - an educational children's television series based on the premise of our short film.

"BAREHANDED CHAMPIONS" - A documentary that tells the story of the 1884 Providence Grays of the National Baseball League, the first real World Series Winning team, when professional baseball was played without gloves.
"THE GREAT AMERICAN CHILDREN'S BOOK CHALLENGE" - a reality based competition television show.
"ARMADILLO ONE" - a 20,000 word Sci Fi short story set in the present day that would make a great feature film.
