hi folks! I’m urgently looking for game writing and narrative design work.

I’ve been in the industry for over 5 years, have AAA and indie experience, and love working as part of a team. I also do editing and consulting work! ✨

I hate when people say shit like “whatever you feel about AI it’s here to say” like that’s not the levelheaded nuanced take you think it is. it just tells me that you have no pattern recognition and also don’t give a fuck about the environment

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I was hoping I'd have time this year to do a horror movie a day in October but I'm shrimply too tired. this is your PSA to add The First Omen to your Halloween watchlist because it's a fucking banger and criminally underrated
