Has ChatGPT turned into a Hulk Hogan bro for anyone else recently? Feels like it's just a matter of time before Chat says "LET'S GOOOOO!" when I ask for restaurant recommendations.

Returning to socials from wildfire-land here in L.A. We’re safe. Had a scare and had to rush the family out in the middle of the night when neighbor’s house went up in flames, but our house is here and we’re back on solid ground. Survive ‘til 2025 is being amended to February 2025. We’ll get there.

There are a very rare amount of films out there that can exist in the vin diagram of movies that appeals to both three year olds and cinephiles -- Flow is one of them and one of 2024's very best. Pure cinema. #letterboxd #moviesky #filmsky

Yesterday we lost a legend. George Folsey Jr. had his hands in everything from Animal House to Thriller. I was lucky enough to not only have worked with him and learn from him, but call him a friend. RIP George. It was a pleasure. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Small Things Like These swooping in and becoming one of my favorites of the year. Murphy carries an entire film with as many words as you get in a haiku. Tim Mielants’s gentle restraint, mixed with some well-timed aesthetic swings is big in a small way. #letterboxd #moviesky #filmsky

Letterboxd users who have seen 500+ films this year and are clearly without child - I may have not watched 500 different films, but I have watched Moana 700 times in the last three months alone, so you know, It's about equal. #letterboxd #moviesky #filmsky

Best part of rejection by a major film festival is that window before the fest where they use your email to hit it up like a blind kid who owes 'em money and all they want's for you to buy the damn t-shirt with the silly logo on it like it's not jalapeño salt in an open wound. #filmsky #scriptsky

A sneak peak at a deck I'm designing for a new project. Going into a deeper deck building process on my Substack this week, but these are a mixture of Shotdeck, Midjourney, drawing/painting in Procreate, Photoshop and InDesign. #filmsky #filmmaking #movies

Writing a screenplay that deals with fate and our relationship to free will when my DP, Elijah Guess, AKA Eazy-E, sent me this gem. Robert Soplansky's got some wild (maybe not so wild) theory that we actually have ZERO free will. As in none! #scriptsky
