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

It is mind-boggling to me how there are people defending this dude, with all the riches and fame in the world -- but he can't let go of a couple million dollars to grow a spine. I support Macklemore. #FreePalestine #fuckzionism

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+ 👀🔴

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.

Hey #filmsky (and #scriptsky) It's been a while since I did movie recommendations. This is one of those hidden 2018 gems: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (dir. Martin McDonagh) (1/3)

#scriptsky #scriptsky+ You could tell that these fools are pulling these "five year projections" from their behind. Asking us how we feel about it would be like asking a dog what it's like to stand on its hind legs for a full day. It's nonsensical.

My script is a psychological drama; it doesn’t have much intentional humor. But when it does, I keep picturing a world where I wrote this pretty heavy story as a ROM com 😯 Just a little note: italics mean she’s speaking in Hebrew in this excerpt. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Oh and #scriptsky -- I know this is a shot in the dark, but I would love to harvest 20 to 30 of your ideas for free because I apparently do not possess a frontal lobe and need to feed them to a hallucinator to mimic cinematography, human expression, the whole nine yards. Thanks.

So after writing an important piece of dialogue, I accidentally created a pun and decided it might actually serve the shared humanity of the scene to acknowledge it. #scriptsky 😂 ...I might keep it.

When you've been through what Martha has, I think it gives you every reason to doubt whether sympathy is genuine. Will she be able to accept love for what it is? Stay tuned 👀 #Scriptsky #scriptsky+

I wrote a ten-page short titled "This Is Gonna Sound Weird." Here’s the first page. #scriptsky Logline: During the Cold War, a socially anxious woman’s attempt to brighten a stranger’s day spirals into a nightmare. Why did I write it? Do I even need to explain? I had hours of free time 😂

Whatever you are up to on #scriptsky, whether it is writing scenes at 5 AM, working on a pilot, a feature, a short, or brainstorming something new, DO NOT outsource your brain to an LLM. I consider you all my siblings now, and if I find out that you did, I will throw a cookie at you. 🍪

I’ve bought socks for this guy, he ignores them. Fine, maybe he’s outgrown the sock phase. Then he proves me wrong. Nooooo. he wants the ones I wear, or they don’t count. Cat and dog companions. Absolutely unhinged about our valued socks.

#scriptsky Another day, another snippet showing off my protagonist Martha’s sass. Just to be clear, I have no reason to post this other than the fact that I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I felt compelled to share. (Swaps will be open soon.)

Out of the many "important" scenes I write in my scripts, my favorite to write are the quick little ones where a character is in their element, like this one, while still connecting to the overall theme. #scriptsky

Not going to name and shame, but this is why we’re discussing this in #scriptsky 😬 If this happens to be you, you need to be upping it to maybe five. Certainly not one. I’m not here to shame anyone, I just want folks to read your script. *I* want a reason even if it is 131 pages. But not like this.

I’ve been outlining a short film script (8 pages / minutes) that takes place on this mountain, and I’ll be shooting it there sometime this year. Today I hiked it while picturing the dialogue and scenery in my head. Does that count as a productive #scriptsky day? 😂

"I'd... like to think so." #scriptsky From a feature I’m working on. I’ll talk more about it soon, but this is one of those touchy-subject stories, which is why it’s one of my favorites to write.

Words from a mayor are influential but the moment you backtrack on said words, you've diminished your cause and made it apparent that you think stern words that you don't believe in will make you a "revolutionary." What an #idiot.

1/ Screenwriting is an open tent. Come right on in. It does not matter your gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or any belief that does not advocate harm. So why do misogynists get so butt-hurt when there are initiatives designed to uplift marginalized folks? #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Oppressors thrive on your indifference and silence. I tolerate differing beliefs. What I won't tolerate is refusing to utilize our privilege to at least try to stay informed, especially when human lives are not only at stake, but are being extinguished and forgotten. #humanity #nokings

Putting everyone on the spot: what’s the latest script you finished? I just wrapped a draft of a 20-page psychological dramedy. #scriptsky Logline: After the COVID-19 vaccine, a psychotic man believes his five-year-old daughter became an orc and launches delusional schemes to enact justice.

While Tolkien himself wasn’t a fan of filmmaking (or screenwriting), his prose is why I fell in love with storytelling. The beauty in human flaws, like Frodo being tempted by the Ring again and again, is why I wanted to tell stories at all. #scriptsky Happy birthday, J.R.R. Tolkien
