Since we're all re-introducing ourselves, thought I'd re-share my dark comedy short film, DEADCOATS
The American Revolution seems very relevant again for some reason. Couldn't tell you why...
Check it out and enjoy!⤵️

It's a little known fact that every American professional screenwriter got their start from hearing their relatives at Thanksgiving say "I've got a great idea for a movie."

Great thread here.
Write your spec not because you think that'll be your ticket in the door.
Write your spec because you love the story and there is no option not to write it.

So I’ve seen some backlash against “write your spec” on this device lately. And as a big proprietor of the movement (I mean — it’s my hashtag) I thought I would share a story with you all.
And I promise you it’s not going where you think it’s going.

Hey, when you work, you're supposed to get a paycheck, right? And if there are issues, you're supposed to be able to reach someone, right? Not just send endless emails into the ether with absolutely no response, right?

I'm looking forward to having the next 2 weeks off of work to catch up on all the writing time I missed over the last month. I might not stop the whole 2 weeks.
I hear a turkey dinner pairs well with Final Draft.

Guess my Grandfather actually did a bad thing when he helped the Coast Guard blow up some Nazi submarines in the 40s.
Sorry Grandpa!
Sorry Grandpa!
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

No artist's work has meant more to me than Scott Hutchison and Frightened Rabbit. Today would have been Scott's 44th birthday.
He left behind albums that showed his struggles but ones that also brought joy. Their lyrics brought understanding. They saved my life.

I always dreamed one of my scripts would get me a nice house someday.
Well, I just got offered a night's stay in an abandoned mansion in exchange for the rights to my entire portfolio. If I stay the whole night I get the deed to the house!
Never stop pursuing your dreams.

Hit with my biggest writing let down this year as I admit to myself I simply don't have the time to finish and edit my latest feature in time for the fellowship deadline I was aiming for.
I still intend to finish, but submitting something that isn't "done" feels like a waste.
Onward.

Even though 11:11 has passed, numerologists tell me you still have all day to make a wish that will almost certainly come true. So I want to know...
Other than getting paid to have your scripts made, what is the ONE thing you want to wish for in your Screenwriting career?
