“but you know what, I wouldn’t have it any other way” just a heads up, whoever says this would like it at least one other way

Things you can say to actors but not the cops: “An interpretation can still be truthful even if it’s incorrect.” #acting #directing #filmsky

The funniest part of the AI era as a filmmaker is you just have to do nothing differently and suddenly you have all this integrity

The absolute arrogance I had looking down on people for getting their music from Guitar Hero when I now get my music from Instagram meme pages.

I’d like to be a horror guy that says stuff like “wow that was a really good scare” and not “the film was banned in Canada because they tortured a raccoon.” #horror #filmsky #scriptsky

“Why do you want to be a filmmaker?” through the years. 12-18: “I just think movies are really cool!” 19-25: “I will prove them all wrong and make them rue the day they ever doubted me.” 26-33: “I just think movies are really cool! Oop, time for my meds!” #filmmaker #filmsky #scriptsky

To me, success as an artist is when “your art being bad” becomes a meme and you don’t feel a thing. Death of the ego. It’s beautiful.

When you ask an actor about the Meisner repetition game, they react the same way sushi chefs do when you ask about the years they were only allowed to cook the rice. #filmsky #scriptsky #acting #theater

Time loop movies always have that first run through when like five wacky things happen at 9 in the morning, if there was no time loop that’d just be a mildly exciting day #filmsky #scriptsky

Taylor Swift is a force to be reckoned with.
"At the end of each
concert bring the
sound guy onto
the stage and
punch him square
in the sternum.
The crowd goes
wild. They don't
even want an
encore anymore.
It's just a stadium
of 70,000 freaks
chanting 'Sternum
punch! Sternum
punch!'."

The minute any of my films do well I’m deleting all social media except an Instagram account where I once a month post slightly over exposed 35mm pictures of my buddies with no caption. #filmsky #scriptsky

“Stop talking about your dog all the time, it’s annoying when you tie every little thing back to it.” You think that line phases me? I am an independent artist. I was forged in the flames of that line. #filmsky #scriptsky

When you get tired and stressed shooting a movie, you’ll start to fantasize about the days when you were in pre production. You’re gonna forget most of it was looking at spreadsheets. #filmsky #indiefilm

My favorite thing about directing is the early days when everyone laughs a little harder at my jokes. You can bet that stops exactly one week into shooting. #filmsky #scriptsky

"Modern horror's really having a moment" dude people have been saying that since Hereditary, maybe just treat it like a legitimate movie genre. #horror #film #filmsky

Do not neglect your script breakdown in favor of your shot list. Your shots are gonna change so much more than your understanding of the scene. #filmsky #filmmaking

For such a colorful and creative medium as film, we really shat the bed by calling it “aspect ratio”. At least make it French like “mise-en-scène”. #filmsky #filmmaking

The hottest new networking trend in the film world. It’s a real mind game. You ready? You get coffee with another filmmaker, but don’t bring up anything you’re working on. You ask questions about them. You answer too. This is a tactic to avoid a roadblock in your career, called “loneliness”. #film

Hey all! I’ve decided I now can plagiarize all your screenplays and movies, unless you send me a handwritten note “opting out”. Can’t believe I didn’t know about this one cool trick. #sora2 #filmsky #scriptsky
