Wild to witness something grow from a silly bit into a real book. @jeffcannata’s movie limericks started as a joke on @thefilmcastpod—now it's a staple, and I’m holding the book fans asked for. Even cooler? My name’s in it. Creativity truly knows no limits.

One of my proudest accomplishments is distilling everything I’ve learned over the years into a coursebook.
Sadly, most people don’t even know it exists.
If you’re curious, I can send you an author’s copy (basically the cost I pay per book).
DM me if you're interested.
