Looking for recs for risk-taking managers for unconventional screenwriters.
I’m a Black List–recommended writer on the Top 25 Screenwriters To Watch list. I write auteur-driven, elevated genre and character-first stories with nontraditional structures, genre-bending arcs and dreamlike narratives🧵

I’m applying for 4 week internship for people with disabilities. Painfully obvious, as former interns and host orgs described themselves physically for potential blind candidates, “and I’m another middle aged white guy…” Last time didn’t get interview because hadn’t enough career experience.

It’s supposed to be a comedy but Oh. What. Fun. is for everyone feeling perpetually under appreciated. Anyone else hate Christmas because for years they’re the ones organising everything and never being considered?

Been advised to target producers not managers as managers come to you *after* you’ve made something. It’s not easy to get an unknown producer to open your email. That’s why you want a manager. 🐥🥚🤦🏽♀️ #screenwriting

Pitch feedback KEANU REEVES IS MY MUSE, MY SON IS A DRAGON "Unfortunately, the market for dramatic stories, particularly ones that don't fit perfectly into a genre mold is difficult. I'm not sure I'm the right person for pushing a project like this forward but I cheer for it."

I'd love a nomination to The Grey List by anyone who read BLOOD DRIVE:
After a domestic abuse survivor marries a small-town doctor, she suspects her stepson is a vampire preying on children, including her hemophiliac daughter.
THE LOST BOYS meets THE STEPFATHER.

Reading notes on Blood Drive by reader without kids, frustrated by kids not doing what they’re told and doing things that make zero sense and put them in danger. No matter how many times I read them 🤣 #parenting #screenwriting
