iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

After a long wait, my TEDx talk is live! It’s the story of how I broke in as a professional screenwriter, how we ended up at Pixar, and my relationship as a writer to AI over the past few years. If you have a chance to watch, I hope you enjoy it. Keep up the great work, all!

Hey #scriptsky friends! Okay so still figuring this place out, but I’m dedicating a few mins a day through the end of the year to bring some of my experience as a current working writer to you all. Lord knows we need each other now more than ever. Go get em today, all! The work must continue…

I actually heard a great interview about that one which contained a good lesson for writers: find a grounded, emotionally resonant story and wrap it in a cool hook. Make it for a price and bob’s your uncle! (Also, get Aubrey Plaza to star in it I guess? ;)
