There was no time in cinema like the late 60s & early 70s. Hackman played a huge part in that. Films that changed the course of cinematic history. Now he’s up there making art with the other easy riders and raging bulls. Thank you is not enough…

This may be an odd request. I hope not. Anyone have the screenplay to The Fugitive?

I’m looking for as close as possible to the shooting script version. Thanks in advance.

Spent the weekend sick, but binged some great sci-fi episodic tv.

The Last of Us and Fallout back to back. Can’t ever complain about Pascal & Goggins on my tv screen.

Walton Goggins needs to be gifted the entire universe because the guy is the modern day Warren Oates.

Happy Screenwriters Day to all my fellow scribes! Your work inspires me tremendously and inspires others to chase their dreams.

Our stories motivate viewers to become doctors, lawyers, astronauts, etc. Storytelling is the most important profession in the world.

Trying to increase purely visual storytelling, so I’ve been watching early Hitchcock.

Today… Jamaica Inn.

B&W Hitchcock is my latest obsession in terms of aesthetic. I love how he plots these thrillers and the characters are so memorable. Any recs?

Somehow Ive never watched The Lady Vanishes. Changing that extra early this morning.

The 30s Hitchcock aesthetic of hotel/train thrillers is almost a genre into itself and fascinates me to no end. Wish they made more movies like them nowadays.

Writing & checking out some art from Lourdes Grobet for inspiration. How she subverts worlds blows me away.

“those images… add power to discourse that questions rather than uphold archetypes.”

“my work and life has always been based around pursuing freedom in all its forms.”

Peep my friend’s flick Gazer. A total passion project. Premiered at Cannes for the Directors’ Fortnight. Trailer in the article.

An ode to 70s cinema. An aesthetic to die for. Hope you all check it out when it’s finally released.

There’s a lot of parallels between creating character on both the stage… and the page.

Listen to Stella Adler-

“Actors need a kind of aggression, a kind of inner force. Don't be only one-sided, sweet, nice, good. Get rid of being average. Find the killer in you.”

I miss Christopher Reeve.

His work with libraries is the stuff of legend.

That being said… I hope this new Superman film gives kids the same feeling I had when I watched Reeves in theatres. If anyone can do it…

Fingers crossed.

Love me some Hitchcock! This trailer doubles as a perfect film pitch, using irony to raise philosophical questions about the relationships between us… and “The Birds”. Plus it’s so damn entertaining. Wish they still made cinema like this.

Just saw Strange Darling - An awesome thriller that subverts our expectations and assumptions. Totally turns genre conventions on their end.

The screenplay is tight and to the point, never staying past its welcome. Absolutely one of the best films of the year.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God just dropped in 4K. It sure as shit ain’t no XMAS movie, but it’s gonna be one of my cinematic holiday treats.

Not enough people have seen this flick which inspired so many of our classics & blockbusters. From Apocalypse Now, to New World, to Pirates…
