Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. The results for the American Zoetrope Screenplay Competition are out. I made the top 1% (top 20), but only the top 10 screenplays get industry distribution. Keep trying, maybe something will stick? #sigh #scriptsky

LAST LAUGH A woman placed in a high-tech prison where users can pay to tandem into prisoner's bodies for free rein must escape and exact revenge on her sister’s murderer: a powerful alt-right celebrity now in full control of her body for the duration of her sentence. #Th #Fea #ScreenPit
Black and white image of a woman facing to the left and a man, upside over her, facing right. They each have a red slash of paper over their eyes. Over the man's eyes it reads LAST in white text, and over the woman's eyes it reads LAUGH.

I struggle with loglines. And based on the #Scriptsky #Screenwriting #WritingCommunity posts I’ve seen, so do lots of other people. Loglines are hard! But if you’re trying to get people interested in your script/book, it helps to have a great one. So here’s a 🧵 on some LOGLINE DOs and DON’Ts. 🧵1

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.
