#specscriptshoutout to @staceycrussell.bsky.social ‘s moving portrait of a pair of very different siblings trying to find out how they fit in the world and with each other, The Open Air. A terrific first feature from a super talented writer.

#specscriptshoutout to @elizabethditty.com ‘s swashbuckling pilot Hellcats of The Caribbean, based on real life lady pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Reade. It’s everything you’d want from show based on women who, when they were caught by the brits, kept shooting even after the male crew surrendered

Another #SpecScriptShoutOut:

Writing time loop movies is no easy task (I oughta know) but @hewizard.bsky.social tackles the challenge with gusto in his sci fi action feature ZOETROPE. A page turner from beginning to end of the world

So, it's #SpecScriptShoutout day and I just finished @leahfromsd.bsky.social's rollicking western adventure PEARL SNAPS.

This feature has compelling, strong women protagonists, guns, greed, gold, and girls. Plus poker, saloons, cats, and carnies.

Such a fun ride.

@julianmartin.bsky.social‬'s CANNIBAL PROPERTIES is a gory little feature with the right kind of raunchy, laugh out loud humor to balance out all the blood and guts 😄

I know Julian's been cracking on this script hard this year, too, so I can only imagine its sharper and darker than ever now! 👀

#SpecScriptShoutout to @leahfromsd.bsky.social for her script Insatious, a bloody, racy, and pleasurable read. Seriously, most of the time I find people's screenplays to be a chore, but I flew through this script like none other. Smoothly propulsive. Thanks also to Leah for her help with my latest!

IMPACT ZONE -TV pilot

A fun, gritty, action filled pilot. Think Point Break/ Hawaii Five-0/Big Wednesday.

#SpecScriptShoutOut

For Believer, a pilot by @tay-nanea.bsky.social Janese Taylor.

A sharply written sci fi horror about alien abduction that gives you the creeps.

Great characters, a protagonist that is warm, believable, someone you root for.

The final scene will chill you to the bone

The Rake by @tay-nanea.bsky.social is a creepy creature feature that chills you to the bone from the first expertly crafted image to the last.

Written to raise the hair on the back of your neck, it keeps you turning page after page to it’s satisfying end.

#SpecScriptShoutOut Day

He Kills at Night by @tommooreiii.bsky.social

A horror about social standing in a forgotten neighbourhood with roots in myth and lore, it will chill you to the bone and open your eyes to things you never expected.

Beautifully written and rich in subtext.

With all the chaos in Washington today, not sure I'll be able to focus on #SpecScriptShoutout Day, unless I simply freshen up my #GreyList recommendations.

Spent the morning diving into another masterful script by @scotterybarn.bsky.social

"our lady queen of los angeles" is one the most inventive stories about the way we pursue our dreams and the obstacles reality puts in that path. Scott is undoubtedly one of a kind.

Recently read Ryan Luong's THE TAM SHOW.
It's a delight - snappy and fast-moving, with a great twist and a riveting 'what's she going to do next?' character in the awkward and determined lead Tam. #scriptsky #specscriptshoutout

#SpecScriptShoutOut for @allenyorkwu.bsky.social's delightful PRINCESS ROYALE 👑

Polite society gets its frilly-gloved hands a little bloody with this all-out battle for the throne between a pack of ambitious princesses. The pilot left me wishing I had an entire season to binge!
