Recently, I emailed my friend Academy-Award winning producer Mike Medavoy.

He called me right after seeing my email. He didn’t email me back. We had a nice chat.

These are the insider movie business ways.

That thing in your hand?

Is a phone. Call people with it. Build relationships.

One day you too may be so lucky as to have a child you’re stoked to share the movies you love most with, who will simply roll his eyes at you and say:

This. Is. So. Old. Mom.

Gosh I wonder where you heard the term wolfpack for writers and why you’re using it in your marketing when it’s literally my company’s trademark tag and logo? Come on. You’re better than that.

So long, Los Angeles? What happened to all the production? The jobs? This article explains it all in a lot of detail: #scriptsky www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hush over Hollywood: why has it become so hard to make films in Los Angeles?

The drop in productions is causing alarm – can Tinseltown halt the exodus and reclais its spot as the home of movie-making?

My mother refers to my queer community as a BLT so from now on just call me bacon.

She will sadly not understand that everybody says they love bacon, but that nobody *actually wants bacon.

But together, mom, you’re right, we are the ultimate pride sandwich… 🏳️‍🌈

The artistic ones with talent who are scared to reach out.

The ambitious ones who haven’t paid as mucn attenfion to nuturing craft

To me the mystery of Coverfly folding is they run the software all the contests use. Not the entry fees- the bts software. That’s how they were free to writers and also attributed accolades. Your best bet moving forward is still a commercial project, strong logline and querying producers. #scriptsky

It’s like he’s trying to drop a chain link fence in the global filmmaking ocean. Studios will never cave to this all their profit margins are abroad now.

Smh. Without a federal tax incentive, all that’s happened here is the studios deploy their business affairs depts to ensure they find every loophole that exists to film wherever they want. Stay tuned tomorrow when they all go to work #scriptsky. deadline.com/2025/05/trum...

MANHUNT was epic, one of the greatest shows of the last decade. She’s a genius. And a wonderful person. We were so moved by her talk with us in the Entertainment Business School.
