DEADCOATS - Short Film
YouTube video by Sam Robotham

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!⤵️

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.

Happy 11/11 #Scriptsky!
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?

So my wife has this thing where she can't distinguish The Decemberists from The Mountain Goats
Like legitimately whenever I play songs from one band, she thinks it's the other
Well today I got this text from her RE: the new Mountain Goats album

Friendly writer tip:
If you're working on multiple projects at once, don't give two different characters in different scripts similar/rhyming names.
You will, with complete certainty, mix them up.
