Doing the #ScriptSky intro thing:
I'm a (mostly) feature writer that specializes in turning genre tropes on their heads.
My sci-fi thriller SUNDOWN was on the 2023 Black List.
My biopic JUMPMAN: THE LEGEND OF SHIGERU MIYAMOTO was a 2024 Nicholl semifinalist.
I won the AFF Pitch Comp once.

Really wonder what, exactly, people need to see in the Epstein Files that is going to meaningfully change Trump's fate. Are people expecting photos? Videos?
Just bracing myself for the narrative moving to, "See? He had nothing to hide," when there is inevitably no smoking gun.
