FIRE KINGS: Point Break x The Bikeriders
BLOOD DRIVE: The Lost Boys x The Stepfather
FATHER TRINITY: Mulholland Drive x Parasite
KEANU REEVES IS MY MUSE, MY SON IS A DRAGON
FIRE KINGS: Point Break x The Bikeriders
BLOOD DRIVE: The Lost Boys x The Stepfather
FATHER TRINITY: Mulholland Drive x Parasite
KEANU REEVES IS MY MUSE, MY SON IS A DRAGON
Pitch feedback KEANU REEVES IS MY MUSE, MY SON IS A DRAGON "Unfortunately, the market for dramatic stories, particularly ones that don't fit perfectly into a genre mold is difficult. I'm not sure I'm the right person for pushing a project like this forward but I cheer for it."

I'd love a nomination to The Grey List by anyone who read BLOOD DRIVE:
After a domestic abuse survivor marries a small-town doctor, she suspects her stepson is a vampire preying on children, including her hemophiliac daughter.
THE LOST BOYS meets THE STEPFATHER.

It's really tough. I've resorted to my inner voice yelling "JUST WRITE SOMETHING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT, YOU CAN FIX IT LATER"

Reading notes on Blood Drive by reader without kids, frustrated by kids not doing what they’re told and doing things that make zero sense and put them in danger. No matter how many times I read them 🤣 #parenting #screenwriting

I guess this is considered to be progress but I’m now on a 48-month waiting list for a psychiatric service dog.

Advice: Meeting producer who I suspect will ask me to write the spec for free. I’m not averse to it as long as I own the screenplay, just to get something on the board. That said, what should I be asking for - as a percentage, gross or net? I’d imagine higher as no up front #scriptsky

About time! A powerful message. Hopefully military and intelligence officers find a solution to serve the American people ethically. But what do they do? Refuse to be deployed? I imagine there’s a lot of hushed conversations in barracks 😮💨 #resist #Trump
