Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 16/09/2026So I chose ones that suit my portfolio and goals, that work in terms of budget, market and genre. That left 16. Then I listed the ones that I would LOVE to write. It went back up to 30. So then I went back to the 16 and selected one at random. Which somehow left me with seven. Help. #scriptsky 2/2 020
Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The joys of writing with ADHD: choosing my next spec project to write. I listed all of my ideas. Then I narrowed it down to ideas that I've worked on meaningfully, so I know there's a film in there. That fit my voice and say something that I want to say. That left me with 30. #scriptsky 1/2 130

Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Sorry to hear mate, hope things are looking up soon! Recently got back in touch with a director friend I haven't spoken to for a while. I've finished some new film scripts, and one of them is right in his wheelhouse - he made shorts about the same issue years ago. So he's reading it now ... 110

Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I have the boredom test! I develop, and share with friends - usually a logline and a one-pager. Then I carry on, sharing for feedback at stages until it's been fully outlined. And then I start writing. If at ANY stage I get bored with it before then, I drop it and move on. 140

Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 14/08/2026You know when you have lots of ideas, and they fizzle out? And then before bed you have an idea that's made of all those ideas and is inspired by a comic book from 26 years ago? And a film you loved from 19 years ago? And next morning you share it and your mates go YES? That feeling? #scriptskystatic.klipy.comTurtle SpinningAlt: Giant turtle spinning and probably saying "fucking yes!!!" 090

Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 30/06/2026The key bit starts about 2:10 in but it's worth watching the whole scene for the buildup. Its short but as powerful as heck.

Matt White @treeandtroll.bsky.social · 23/06/2026A week ago I drew up a list of my favourite horror films and identified some themes and commonalities amongst them. I asked myself why I love them.
