Big same! I'm new to this and feel lucky to have found some good eggs to navigate this with. 🫶

Yulecide A cozy cottage in the woods. An impending blizzard. A cute baker. Holly thinks she’s in a Hallmark Christmas romance… but she’s actually in a horror movie, and she might not make it out alive. 🎄💀 Script Pipeline QF #ScreenPit #Hldy #RoCo #HoCo #Ho #Su #Fea #LBu #WrWo #ScriptSky

Why not? Especially because the title for Yulecide appears on page 3 of the current draft. 🎄💀 #scriptsky #horror #ThirdPageThursday

Today I was digging through my Google Drive, and I found this completely blank doc from Dec 31, 2022. Glad I finally got around to writing it! 🎄💀 #scriptsky #writing

I'm struggling to get online traction for my latest short, so I'm posting it anywhere I can. Let's hope LinkedIn likes animated horror shorts! 🤞 #film #animation #horror #filmsky

Back in the day there was an official message board for suggesting new Beanie Babies. I created Glow the Firefly. They even used most of the poem I wrote.

BTW - working on a short horror script about being a cat owner! It's super relatable... I promise. 😸 #scriptsky #writing #horror

Everyone's talking about indie horror on YouTube... but what about indie ANIMATED horror on YouTube? 👀 VHX played at some fantastic horror film festivals, and now it’s online, collecting dust. 💀 Here's a little taste. Please give it a watch! 📼 #filmsky #horrorsky #film #indiefilm #animated

You’re not wrong! My story plays into those tropes but flips them on their head in a very different way.

Here's a clip from my new short! It's the most DIY film I've made, and it also played at the best fests. 📼✨ These are real VHS tapes from eBay. The eyes are metal discs and magnets. The mouths are foam and beeswax. Watch it here: youtu.be/vTobaYbKkKM?... #filmsky #animation #stopmotion

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.
