I love brainstorming with my peeps over on Discord.

Discussing book adaptations, like The Picture of Dorian Grey with a modern angle, with @leahfromsd.bsky.social .

Happy snowy Saturn Day from the wilds outside Toronto, Canada.

I feel your creativity pulsing like unbridled desire.

Let loose and show me what you got!

I know it’s going to be amazing!

The Woman Who Knows

A psychological thriller in the PoV of a chronically and mentally unwell disabled woman thrown into a murder mystery as she starts to unravel.

A feature film that shines light on invisible and chronic illness.

I still think this is my best first page so far.

I need some advice/direction on adapting a book to a script.

Anyone have resources or anything?

Well, the turkey is done and dusted.

So it’s said we should all laugh more, why not combine the two things we need more of.

It’s that time.

Well, Happy Friday my delicious little chocolate croissants.

We survived the snow-pocalypse, but more is on the way.

And you survived the week.

So give yourself a treat and know that I think you are all supernova superstars!

Movies and TV lean primarily left not because the industry leans left but because conservatism is not conducive to storytelling.

Conservatism is about maintaining the status quo, preventing change from occurring.

Stories are fundamentally about change.

Happy thanksgiving y’all!

I think Defying Gravity might just be one of the best songs ever written.

Funny how differences stand out between book and film.

In the book, Nessa Rose had no arms, in the film, her legs don’t work.

People get Wicked all wrong, or at least some of the ones I’ve spoken to.

Glinda is narcissistic, vain and graspingly ambitious.

The Wizard is just a con man with ambitions to cover his inadequacies.

Elphaba was just misunderstood.

Trying to find free art to use for my posters.

I’m making a poster for Hell’s Harpies but I can’t find exactly what I want.

This one is far too cartoonish.

I wanted a photo of a woman with black or flaming wings on a motorcycle riding the road to hell.

I don’t want anything AI.

Happy Thors-day and to the Americans, Happy Turkey Day!

Okay all you super heroes and rockstars, I see you out there moving and shaking and creating your hearts out.

I got you, you are truly special to have the gift of writing.

You have a wonderful day!

Watching the first Zootopia with niece and nephew since the new one is coming out. (It’s been years!) I didn’t expect such a simple message to be so moving…

We all have limitations. We all make mistakes…

But try. Try to make the world a better place.

So, I’m writing a biker chick feature script.

Genres: modern western meets fantasy

Biker chicks go to hell on a rescue mission.

What could go wrong?

Why everything of course.

Do you have a Christmas script?

Here's mine. Post yours

SCROOGE: REQUIEM
After Scrooge breaks his Christmas vow, a vengeful 4th Spirit turns Tiny Tim’s illness into a zombie plague. Now Scrooge must prove his redemption or watch London perish in a nightmarish hellscape of his own making

Thanks to Daniel for this because it’s true. Most things in life it’s true. If you never fail, you never learn and you never get the joy of success. Keep doing what you love, is Daniel’s message.

Happy Hump Day you delightful little dromedaries!

Is it time for a mid week break or to push through before the weekend?

Either way, I think you’re all amazing.

Keep up the great work!

Just found out that I can’t find kolaches at any bakeries in my area.

Now I’m sad.

I love kolaches.

I just watched a YT video of British high school boys trying American Thanksgiving foods for the first time. Like sweet potato casserole, proper gravy from scratch, roasted Brussels sprouts, mac & cheese, pumpkin pie and pecan pie.

It was adorable.

It’s Terrific Tuesday, my sweet little pancakes.

Today it’s dare to dream; dream a scene, a character, a tragedy, a romance, an adventure and more.

Dream a little dream for me!

Stars shining bright above you…

That’s how the song goes.

Can’t remember how many noes you average will get for a script before you get a yes but Eat At Joe’s is at about 15 now.

Am I close enough yet?
