Nah, we just took it to our local St. Louis festival and got to see our little film community watch it together but outside of that no. Hard to get a 20 minute film into any significant festivals so we just went with YouTube

Literally had a CEO get caught cheating with his HR person on the big screen at a Coldplay concert in the script I’m writing right now. Back to the drawing board I guess

Screenwriters should always be working on a few projects at any given time. It’s about getting more irons in the fire. Even though none of them are going to sell and none of us are going to make it and Hollywood is dead and the sun is going to explode

Andy Compton @andycompton.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
As a filmmaker, my target audience are addicts, the children of deadbeat parents, and people with depression/anxiety. That’s who I’m doing it for 💪🏻😩👍🏻

Fun story - today I was leaving to meet with a stuntwoman who’s going to help us coordinate a fight scene for a music video I’m directing and on my way out the door I fell down a flight of stairs. No joke, I fell down a flight of stairs omw to meet a stuntwoman

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT. The latest ep with Edith Rodriguez, an OG screenwriting twitter friend who has since been staffed on both DEXTER: RESURRECTION and MATLOCK. We talk a lot about her life as a working TV writer. Check it out! #scriptsky

It does! Was happy to see this writing-focused tweet from a familiar face! Haha. We back

Andy Compton @andycompton.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
I'd say rewrite if you know the current version doesn't do the concept justice if you've simply gotten better at writing since then. If you realize now that maybe the concept wasn't that strong to begin with or was too much of a headache to work through logistically, move on. That's what I do.

Yeah they had me make a few breakfast burritos in exchange for matcha

It matters! (Along with 40 ounces of matcha latte)

Was writing in a coffee shop but the words weren't coming out so I left and went to another coffee shop and now im cooking and idk if it's the environment or that I'm up to 40 ounces of matcha latte but I'll take it #scriptsky

Just took a 45 minute detour from writing to listen to songs from the 50s to find a thematically relevant one for a script I'm writing that will probably be too expensive to license if it ever gets made. I'm a moron 🙂
