As a Ukrainian-American with friends and family still there, I'll take every Ukrainian victory I can get. I wish more Americans understood that Ukraine is helping protect the rest of us from Putin’s constant meddling. Also making Elon mad is a huge fucking bonus. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦

If you're heading to AFF, you don't want to miss the reading for my friend Leah's hilarious and heartwarming semifinalist script!

I think I have decided that if you think The Movies Are Over it is a sign you have given up on art, because baby, the movies are always alive

Truly a joy to read! Glad I could be part of it!

Screenwriting is a strange career because you can receive incredibly encouraging professional news and still have absolutely nothing to tell your mother when she asks how it’s going.

It's also super interesting to see how some people who you imagined would be excited for you when good things happen are actually not.

New post up! The idea came from a friend who noted how most “breaking in” stories are from people who did it years ago. Which is great, she said. “Except I don’t have a time machine.” So I wrote about that. #scriptsky #screenwriting

Oh, for sure! Also, I'm not slow. I'm just (like you) a Texan, so sometimes it takes me an extra beat to spot satire. Hard to know these days.

I see what you did there... (Although tbh, I got real worried for a second.)

Lol, thanks Leah. And I guess patience is relative. As someone completely lacking in it, I have to call it out whenever I see it!

And they're going for repeat viewings. They want to hang out with their friends at the movies and eat popcorn and drink blue raspberry Icees. Old times are back.

Seems like a prime opportunity to give the audience what they want, just not in the way they expect.

I have a 17 year-old film-nerd son who loves going to the movies but has zero interest in any of the old IP. Almost as a matter of principle now. Gen Z really wants original ideas, movies made for them that represent their realities, and their own franchises -- not the ones their parents grew up on

So sweet of you to say, Leah! Honestly been tweaking that bio for a couple years. Biggest tip I can give on bios is use it to showcase your voice and give them a taste of what reading you will be like.

So honored to chat with the amazing Liz Craft and Sarah Fain about my (still very much developing) writing journey. Also got to shoutout some of my favorite people in the episode resources, so check the recs! #scriptsky

And so the American experiment with democracy is transformed from Lincoln's "the last best hope of earth...The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless..." ...becomes "We are really good at killing people." Tech brain.

People going "America was always fascist" or "it's been like this since the 1980s" or making related claims don't seem to realize it, but they're telling everyone that nothing different is happening, nothing worse than usual, so if you weren't up in arms about eg 2013, you shouldn't be now either.

And see... I was just telling people that the half season of him being evil was my favorite stretch of the show. He was cartoonish at times, sure. But I preferred the post-sex love/hate tension to them making puppy dog eyes at each other constantly.
