Screenwriter of rambunctious eloquence. Sometimes comedy, sometimes comedic, sometimes just dramatic. Hard to believe I was a Nicholl Finalist!
Love movies, beer, music, tacos, and floating in a Texas river. BlueSky since 2023.
Occasionally sarcastic.

Offered for consideration for #TheGreyList:
QUEEN OF THE SKY
When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Is the media finally treating Trump, who is clearly in rapid decline, the way they treated Biden?
It’s about fucking time! Who’s with me?

Do you have a Christmas script?
Here's mine. Post yours
THREE WISE MEN
Three bumbling buddies lost in the Mexican desert on Christmas Eve must team to help a pregnant young woman trying to hike to Texas before she gives birth in the wilderness.

Repeat this until your brain fully accepts it:
"succeeding [in] the industry has almost nothing to do with how good your script is."
Then repeat it again. Then again.
"succeeding [in] the industry has almost nothing to do with how good your script is."
Then repeat it again. Then again.
There’s a reason when I talk and write about writing screenplays, I talk about the *craft* and not the industry. I can write a very compelling screenplay and coach others to do so. But you learn very quickly succeeding the industry has almost nothing to do with how good your script is.
Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

Yes, and also recognize that with creative fields, survivorship bias is real: You hear about full-time creatives with envious career arcs precisely because they've survived in the field where others (for whatever reason and independent of quality of work) have not. This is an important fact.
Would-be/struggling writers can feel like losers or wannabes when they read about other writers writing "full time" or promo'ing their book in various exotic cities. And it's good to recognize that, yeah, sometimes there's another income (or a spouse is helping to pay the bills).

Wow! Apple TV has canceled the release for "The Hunt" due to plagiarism.
The director, creator, and screenwriter failed to tell anyone this was actually an adaptation of a novel by Douglas Fairbairn, published in 1973. www.igen.fr/apple-tv/202...

Apple a supprimé la série Traqués (The Hunt) car ce serait un plagiat
Il y a quelques jours, Apple a totalement fait disparaître la série Apple TV The Hunt (Traqués), façon 1984. Les bandes-annonces, communiqués et pages dédiées à la série française avec Mélanie Laurent...

It's another unseasonably warm gorgeous day and I am again thinking about river trips and cold beverages and laughing with friends and I again wonder if I could make a go of organizing a Soggy Writers Long Weekend where folks who have the toughness of emotional hide to tolerate me might congregate.

Doing The Big Shopping Run for Thanksgiving always makes me want to not give thanks.

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.
