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.

Legitimately held up my hands in victory when I managed to cut one (1) page from my script.

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?

Religion horror with a KILLER hook—

Don’t let the black screen fool you, this audio-horror proof of concept is a great tonal piece to @hamrobotham.bsky.social’s NAME OF GOD 👇🏻 #scriptsky
NAME OF GOD | @hamrobotham.bsky.social

After being gifted a high-tech Bible verse bracelet, a devout Christian deacon is pushed to the brink of his faith and sanity when the device delivers a dangerous prophecy directly from God.

(Sound up on this terrifying teaser 👇🏻)

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

We did it, @themountaingoats.bsky.social

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.

I very much hope that this very real screenshot from the upcoming very real Michael Jackson biopic will signal the end of the musician biopic bubble.
