Overview
"I created a psychological and adventurous five-year crime-family saga where wealth, power, love, and ambition collide — and where conscience yields to greed in the pursuit of the American dream."
The New Drago Family is built as a long-form, multi-format franchise: a five-year annual chronology told through two-part films and premium series seasons.
As creator and executive producer, I provide the narrative spine, story bibles, and a disciplined production and financing logic designed to align studios, talent, and investors.
As a writer
I build NDF as a character-driven story universe and a carefully engineered franchise for A-list ensemble talent. The writing explores psychological depth, crime and power struggles, finance, and geopolitics, with emotional stakes designed to evolve across films and series—and with cinematic set pieces and locations built for the big screen.
Copyright
The New Drago Family is created, written, and developed through 9170-2464 Québec inc. and NDF5 Productions Inc. in Montreal, Canada. In 2025, U.S. Copyright Office registrations were obtained for the saga and its written materials.

Creative intent
NDF uses the crime-family framework as a mirror, not an endorsement. The saga is built to show that criminality carries a heavy cost for everyone it touches: victims, allies, bystanders, and the perpetrators themselves. It explores how wealth, power, and status distort judgment, and how the endless pursuit of the “American dream” can become a trap rather than a destination.
At the core of the saga lies the duality of the criminal mind. The same individual can be generous, charismatic, and protective one day—and ruthless, treacherous, or threatening the next. In NDF, criminality is not portrayed as a constant state of violence, but as a shifting moral landscape where allure, affection, fear, loyalty, and brutality coexist. That instability is what makes power dangerous—not just to others, but to those who wield it.
The saga also examines a broader human contradiction: people often defend values they struggle to apply to themselves. Families may speak of inequality while benefiting from it; generosity can coexist with aggressive tax avoidance; moral clarity is often reserved for others. In NDF, crime is not only an act—it is a system of justifications, blind spots, and selective ethics that mirrors the tensions, blind ambition, and greed of real society.
Anchored in social reality—power, loyalty, morality, money, inequality, and the systems that reward ambition without conscience—NDF invites the audience to observe, judge, and question. Not from a distance, but from uncomfortably close.
Vision & style
NDF revisits the crime-family saga through a contemporary lens: wealth, financial schemes, cybercrime, geopolitics, and the cost of power. The Drago Family’s rise takes a toll on others, on those who join, and on the family itself. Built on a sweeping, high-stakes narrative engine, the saga keeps society and the individual at the center: what happens when values buckle under greed, status, and ambition.
The saga will be carried by two contrasting directors and showrunners: one rooted in family, strategy, and loyalty; the other in opposition, jealousy, and darker violent impulses. Together, they put the audience’s values and conscience under pressure—revealing the duality of the criminal mind and the fractures within society.
Collaboration
The project actively seeks partners who value both artistic ambition and solid financial engineering, with shared risk and aligned upside.
