Also, inexplicably winning zero awards (even though their shitty online voting system made your film number 1 by far) and then you offer feedback, but they never respond, and then a few days later they ask separately for your feedback and a review of the festival…

So freaking true. Testing this exact scenario with different YT thumbnails right now to see which one performs better. Even though I already know 😂

Also, someone personally not liking/hating something doesn’t mean the thing itself is bad. People are allowed to have bad taste 😂

I submitted three projects for funding this month. Two of them included pitch decks and screenplays. And one of them required only a screenplay. One Supernatural Drama, one Supernatural Comedy and one Supernatural Horror. My brain hurts, but my body hurts more. Supernaturally so 😂

When I see arrogant, prideful assholes, I want to see them punished, more than anything. But when I do see them get punished and fall, somehow I end up feeling really bad for them, and want to comfort them, more than anything. Is there a name for this very inconvenient affliction that befalls me? 😑

“Filmmaking is a completely imperfect art form that takes years and, over those years, the movie tells you what it is. Mistakes happen, accidents happen and true great films are the results of those mistakes and the decisions that those directors make during those moments.” — Jason Reitman

What things make you stop reading someone’s post? There are a few things that annoy me, though not all cause me to stop reading. Lack of punctuation is one that does. If I have to read over a block of text with zero punctuation more than twice, I stop trying. Life is short, folks. Punctuate.

Everytime I get this feeling, I remember what an actor told me about a film I made with him. He said he didn’t care what happened to the film. So many people never make films or maybe never complete them, so the mere act of putting it together felt like a revolution to him. Share your film with us ❤️

Did I once watch a movie where Jerry Lewis was an alien with weird super powers? I specifically recall a scene in which he pulled on his earlobe and was able to levitate a car to have it conveniently float over stationary traffic. Did this film once exist in real life or have I finally lost my mind?

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

I had a hilarious dream that I was at a very popular outdoor cafe in NYC called SMASH! where they had a live karaoke system with huge speakers blasting people’s singing out into the neighbourhood every Saturday morning. And they gave out free pizza slices to anyone brave enough to sing publicly.

Masters of the Universe was campy af and nostalgic in the best way possible. If you ever grew up watching this show you will have a blast during the movie. Especially because like the original animated series, it never takes itself seriously ❤️
