Just learned my short films, AFTERGLOW and THE ENTRAPMENT are second rounders at the Austin Film Festival. Congratulations to everyone who advanced, my thoughts to those who didn’t (everything is subjective) and to those waiting with hope for a semifinalist placement #AFF #ScriptSky

You never notice how many references and jokes are made about suicide... until you're directly impacted.
Not a day goes by where I don't think about the man I came out with. He took his own life two years ago. Be conscious of your words, you don't quite know the trauma you might be poking at.

This really is the era of stupidity and misinformation. May common sense and critical thinking soon become respected again.

Devastated to discover Jane Goodall passed recently. What a force for kindness, for wisdom, and voice for animals. There is so much we as a society can learn from her, especially in our current world climate.

They say there’s more activity on Twitter… I’m not about to duck and weave around racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic fucksticks just for industry connections. The community here is much nicer and friendly to each other, and we don’t have a new drama every hour ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 #ScriptSky

Stacey is one of the most talented, dedicated and determined writers I know, if you're able to help her attend AFF this year, please check this out! #scriptchat
Finally it can be said: I’m a triple semifinalist at AFF in the drama feature, Wonder Project, and Enderby categories with THE OPEN AIR! Words cannot express what this means to me, especially with October being Down syndrome awareness month! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to/ #scriptsky

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

First Colbert, now Kimmel? All conservatives seem to do is carry on about free speech this, free speech that, and now we’re losing late night hosts because they’re exercising free speech.
Fuck Trump. Fuck this administration. State TV seems inevitable at this point.
