Screenwriter (psychological political thrillers and dramas). It’s the little shorts that make this craft memorable.

Don't (or do) try this at home, #ScriptSky kids! Writing beats of a story out of order is weird and fun. Today I wrote the "end of Act 1," Page 13, and now I'm sketching an action sequence in the middle/turning point of the story. Thank goodness I do full outlines. 😅

One more #scriptsky ramble before I hit the deck. I think the best kinds of scenes to write and watch are the ones where a bunch of dark shit surrounds the plot, but amidst it all, the characters are able to find some laughter or joy. Inappropriately, might I add! Makes it 10x better. Trust me.

I feel the need to push this to #scriptsky again, especially with the political upheaval and fascist, genocide-supporting bullshit of these past days (barf). It is more than OKAY to express your truth in screenwriting or any form of #writing. Make it good, but also truthful (as a bonus).

Just figured I'd share this to get back into the #scriptsky groove. This is the first page of the WIP I'm working on. I finished a rough draft a week ago and am now doing some trimming and rewriting. Title: "A Martianist Way of Life" #scriptsky+ 👀🔴

Just some random advice: when you're doing #scriptsky, or any kind of writing in general, write with the curiosity of a child. I know we have to be realists now. Bills have to be paid. Reality sets in. We're adults. I get it. But if you can, let your imagination be the one exception.

Hi #scriptsky, It's okay to brag. But have you ever pitched yourself an idea that you can't shake off your mind, that you want to pat yourself on the back for pitching? An idea that, if you had unlimited finances, you would want to represent *you*? I think I got mine 😅

I’ve been stuck at a crossroads with my WIP. It’s all outlined, but still rough. Then I remembered the theme, being there for others. Someone helped me the other day, and it sparked something again. Don’t underestimate the power of your kindness, creatively or socially. #scriptsky

So, a couple of things before this guy started clowning me (and blocked me). For starters, "hidden gem" is a broad #filmsky term. There have been 98 Academy Award ceremonies in this industry. Some movies can still be "under-appreciated" relative to others in the mainstream circuit.

What @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social has been trying to tell #scriptsky for eons: your script is only as good as your logline. And to add, being economical with the words of your logline is no different from being economical with action and dialogue lines.

Steven Spielberg made Schindler's List, one of the greatest films ever made. Yet no one would dare call it one sided propaganda about why Nazis are bad. It depicted an objective evil. The Nazi regime was horrific. It was evil. We all agree on that, right? /1 #filmsky #AcademyAwards #scriptsky

A group of Hollywood insiders have been running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to try stopping it from winning an Oscar tonight. They call the film — which depicts the effort to rescue Hind, before Israel killed her and the medics trying to save her — "one-sided…propaganda."

#scriptsky #scriptsky+ If I could sum up the theme of my latest WIP I'm outlining in a few words, it would be: "Shut the fuck up and listen." Sometimes you can change someone's world by lending an ear. You don't have to be the loudest in the world to try to change it.

Hey #scriptsky, I currently am running a group of forty screenwriter's. But there will be some spots opening up 👀 We do one page challenges every week. There'll also be table reads, script swaps, and all that fun stuff. If interested, just shoot me five pages of a script in DMs.

I think the best advice for #scriptsky and for life is to cultivate curiosity and stay humble. Many of the seasoned pros of our time, perhaps not all, the "most learned," follow these principles. We all must do the same as we tread that path.

I feel honored to be a part of #scriptsky (you amazing people ❤️). But more than that, even though I still have a long way to go, I have spent enough years screenwriting to know that I have made progress. And by now, I know this is something I want to do for life. I take pride in that.
