If you need to cry out about what’s happening, remember that our art is our voice. The films we make are the legacy of what we had to say during times like these. “Movies are the memories of our lifetime; we need to keep them alive.” -Martin Scorsese #scriptsky #filmsky

I see a lot of hate for organized religion, and I’d have to agree that it can be abused, but as someone who once believed in Christianity and no longer does, I can say that there’s a lot of good people who try to do good in all of those churches out there, even if some of them are quite corrupt

To make it big in film, you have to figure out what you’re the biggest geek about. My takeaway from this passage in Tarantino’s Speculation on Cinema #scriptsky #filmsky

We crunched the numbers, and it turns out doing the right thing costs too much. So we won’t. Speaking of spending, how about this million-dollar watch? — Mark Zuckerberg

Thank you again to everyone who submitted writing for our open positions. Bluesky is such a great forum for meeting hard working and talented creatives. I won’t be able to respond to every submission, but we will be in touch if we would like to see additional work or discuss our project further!

This reminds me so much of my random notes. At one point I thought this was super important and now I question the sanity of the person who wrote this note.

Who has seen Whiplash? Really great jazz movie with an excellent screenplay. keeps the tension up in an ultra contained world, which i think helps it work so well #scriptsky #filmsky

I used to get my heart broken every time they played the sec for a big game. I’d love to see this team in those old games.

Finally getting a chance to watch my old team, the Oregon Ducks, and boy do they look so much tougher than back in the day. Everyone used to say these guys couldn’t hang with the best and they were right, but no longer #goducks

It’s Black Friday! The real Black Friday! Not early Black Friday or Black Friday week. Or Black Friday month. Or new Black Friday in June or March. The real one! Everyone go buy a big screen!

I do the same! But it makes me wonder—when is it too much? As an author, I’m used to filling in every detail, but with screenplays, I’ve learned to leave space for the actors and director to bring their own vision to life. Like if I write: “she raised an eyebrow” — should I leave that to the actor?

Re: screenwriting/discussion topic. Movement—whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual—keeps characters alive and compelling. How do you approach movement or change when writing your scripts? Do you focus on character arcs, literal action, or both? I’m love to hear your input! #scriptsky+

I was blown away by an idea from Seneca this morning. He suggests that humans are drawn to travel and movement because we’re made of the same stuff as stars—restless, always in motion through the universe. Pretty rad idea. Perhaps it will inspire you, as it did me, on this gift of a day. #scriptsky

Thanks for sharing your experience. Helpful to get an update on where things are in the industry for up and coming voices. I predict that entertainment will become much more democratic and merit based in the next decade but we’re at a very tough time right now.

Justin Blaney @justinblaney.bsky.social · 28/11/2024
Varies! Sometimes the story demands a character. I tried to take a character out because I felt I had too many and the story kept bringing this one chapter back. I like to dream up interesting and conflicting traits that go against expectations and then create as contrast with the others characters.

Great points, Anna! I love the idea of comedy stemming naturally from character and flaws. Do you have any tips for balancing comedic beats with dramatic tension without it feeling forced or out of place? I’m finding it tricky to maintain the tone consistently.

Justin Blaney @justinblaney.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Haha. Keep at it

Justin Blaney @justinblaney.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
This is our current question, how to balance the dark comedy without cutting the tension - need to watch some movies to study!

Quit trying to sell me your writing services @stephenking.bsky.social! Kidding, another fake account reported.

Yeah, silly me. Would love to connect with the real you though!

Justin Blaney @justinblaney.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
This is the second time this has happened to me in the last week (first was with @stephenking.bsky.social which was a bit easier to tell it was a fake account). I thought it sounded off but it's hard to tell since so many people are new. Too bad people waste everyone's time with their shenanigans!
