Honored to get to present at NAMI Maryland's 44th Annual Conference this October where I'll be sharing scenes from our short film "Finding Hero" and discuss storytelling that frames people, not their diagnosis! @namicommunicate.bsky.social #scriptsky #filmsky

To my filmmakers-- what do people use for online storage? Dropbox? Google Drive? How much do you purchase? Are there any good deals people can turn me on to? #scriptsky #filmmarker

Sometimes I think Earth is meant to be the psychiatric ward for the universe. Some of us humans are just.... insane.

For those who've shot a short film, what are our thoughts on negotiating rates for talent/crew? Do you ask for people's day rate or suggest a flat fee? What about negotiating-- do you dare? #scriptsky #fimmakers

What are our thoughts on using A.I. to create images for a pitch deck? I'd hate to rely on the evil for creative outputs but where do people go for royalty free stock images? What do you do when something isn't quite right? #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Just applied to National Alliance on Mental Illness' October speaker series. Wish me luck! Hoping to share our short film "Finding Hero" and speak about my personal experience caring for a loved one with schizophrenia. 🧠💙🤞🍀 #scriptsky #mentalhealth

Experiences like this one are what inspired me to write "Finding Hero" & continue to write stories that raise awareness of mental health & the impact it has on not just the afflicted but on the family, the care team & the community. More news about our 45-minute "short" film coming soon #scriptsky

The other week my brother w/ schizophrenia went missing for 3 days. When the police didn't help, strangers on Reddit rallied together and found him. D.C. can get a bad rep but it truly is an amazing community. I'm thankful for the individuals who live there washingtonian.com/2026/07/10/h...

ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA. This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times. They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.
