Neo-noir about the one choice you can’t take back.
Spare, literary crime stories about ordinary people who make one compromised choice and cannot find their way back.
Nobody stops a man carrying the dead. Nobody ever has.from Quiet Departures
✦About
Martin Kriegler writes English-language neo-noir in the register of Cormac McCarthy and the Coen brothers — plain, exact prose, violence held mostly off the page, and ordinary people undone by a single compromised choice they cannot take back. He writes original feature screenplays.
A personal passion project — Martin writes in his own time, for the love of the craft, not professionally.✦The Work
Five original feature screenplays — a small-town undertaker, a territory’s hangman, a long-haul trucker, a desert fixer, a register clerk; each undone by a single choice he cannot take back.
