Truly devastated by Technicolor shutting down US operations. I started my VFX journey there. Met a lot of wonderful people, worked on incredible shows and films. I hope the VFX industry can recover, and get the respect it deserves. This is brutal.

I wonder if the fact that my biggest note is always "your main character needs more driving force but everything else in the story is great" is a subconscious reflection of my life.

Greatly apologize to anyone who follows me on threads but that has definitely turned into a fan account.

Got the best compliment from a reader: "your dialogue, the banter, reminds me of Old Hollywood films." And if you know me, that's top tier validation. Second time I've heard that from two different readers. #screenwriting

How many ideas have you gotten really excited about before you realized there really isn't a story there? So far, for me, 4.

Today was supposed to be spent implementing notes into a second draft. But no. My brain said, let's attempt to make this into a potential series so you will spend the day creating family trees for all these characters. 🥹🫠🫠

So... is it still frowned up to use "we see" in scripts?

Unfortunately this is what Netflix does. They don’t market. They prefer if things go viral on their own. It’s the lesson they learned from Stranger Things and it now applies to all of their new films/tv shows.
I was surprised when they featured it on a banner ad on the website for me. It's definitely not getting any attention, though. They're putting nothing behind it.
Here's the trailer

I see that "writing" couple who has been shady to most of the writing community is really baiting engagement on threads and attracting attention and it's eating me up inside I can't say anything.

At what point do you accept your 10 year old Mac Book Pro is on its last legs and you have to trade it in for that younger, sleeker model whose keyboard just isn't as satisfying?

Have about 4 different aspects I need to focus on to get this feature into a proper third draft and so of course I’m spiralling because I’m* a shit writer.

SAG update from the direct mouth of a NegCom member:
We have been left on read by the AMPTP. We sent them our counter on Saturday, we sent the AI counter on Wednesday. They have not responded. So just know whatever you hear is probably horseshit.
