This thread makes a lot of sense with clear actionable items or benchmarks to hit to keep a reader reading. And that's the point, right?

In Adaptation, a fictionalized Robert McKee says, “The last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit.”

Bull. Shit.

Nobody’s making it to Act 3 if your Act 1 sucks.

There isn't much that gets me as excited as producing & writing #audiodrama. I feel it's completely undeserved, especially in the #comedy realm.

Do you listen to audio dramas? (ie podcasts with real actors and cinematic sound)

If not, why not?

A big reason why I'm an environmentalist and a writer is Kevin Gillis, the creator of #theraccoons at #oiaf. So cool to meet him and be at the panel discussing the 40th anniversary of his legacy show.

When you don't have a business card wallet, use something similar.

Screenplays are written in the Present tense for a reason: Scenes unfold in the MOMENT giving the reader a sense of immediacy. Write IN the moment … ABOUT the moment. #screenwriting #scriptsky

I learned the most from a course with @storyandplot.bsky.social and its a method that has merges seamlessly with my own sensibilities.

Highly recommend!

Don't stay in the corner. Stand like a creep in the middle of the bar at the Driskill. You're bound to make a friend.

The whole reason I love stories is because of Kevin Gillis and #theraccoons. This still gives me chills. Can't wait to see a personal hero honored at the Ottawa International Animation Festival this week & pitching my own animated feature!

Full circle life moment. And yea, I'm crying.

Finished our @digi60.bsky.social script today. Very happy with the themes, humor and set pieces we were able to use. Great manageable locations and minimal prop work is key for us too. Now onto production!

It's amazing how much this applies to almost anything you try to master or achieve in your life.

Great thread

When it's all too much, i turn to music. This tune has good skateboarding vibes all over it.
