Following the aftermath of AFF's alleged AI-generated notes, I'd like to state as someone who has given script and story notes for screenwriters going back to the last century, I have never and never will use AI for the reading & analysis of your screenplay. #scriptsky

How many projects are you working on? I often wonder if it's too much, unfocused. But I remind myself that creative work has no set path. It's not a machine. It's a process and I absolutely LOVE the chaos and problem solving of it all. Like the guy w 30 cars in the yard, I'm building a monster!

After a 4 week dance with pneumonia, it was nice to get back to work on a few rewrites. Now if I can only get my sense of smell and taste back...

As a massive music lover, you know that you can't hear it all. So, I'd like to give a huge thank you to @jamesgunn.bsky.social for the introduction to Wig Wam and Foxy Shazam. My world is now a more beautiful musical place. I've also got way more holes in the drywall. #rockon #peacemaker #scriptsky

This @senators.bsky.social pk is an absolute embarrassment. And ullmark could show up at any point now. He looks lethargic and uninterested.

This thread makes a lot of sense with clear actionable items or benchmarks to hit to keep a reader reading. And that's the point, right?
In Adaptation, a fictionalized Robert McKee says, “The last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit.”

Bull. Shit.

Nobody’s making it to Act 3 if your Act 1 sucks.

There isn't much that gets me as excited as producing & writing #audiodrama. I feel it's completely undeserved, especially in the #comedy realm.

Do you listen to audio dramas? (ie podcasts with real actors and cinematic sound)

If not, why not?

Good morning #scriptsky. May your journey be filled with bountiful harvests and clear skies.

A big reason why I'm an environmentalist and a writer is Kevin Gillis, the creator of #theraccoons at #oiaf. So cool to meet him and be at the panel discussing the 40th anniversary of his legacy show.

Screenplays are written in the Present tense for a reason: Scenes unfold in the MOMENT giving the reader a sense of immediacy. Write IN the moment … ABOUT the moment. #screenwriting #scriptsky

The whole reason I love stories is because of Kevin Gillis and #theraccoons. This still gives me chills. Can't wait to see a personal hero honored at the Ottawa International Animation Festival this week & pitching my own animated feature!

Full circle life moment. And yea, I'm crying.

Finished our @digi60.bsky.social script today. Very happy with the themes, humor and set pieces we were able to use. Great manageable locations and minimal prop work is key for us too. Now onto production!

I watched the consolidation of media in Canada. I was there. I saw the gutting of newsrooms. The annihilation of local content. All for profit. We have a media problem in Canada that we need to address.

Ben Mulroney is a partisan putz. Corus is a tire fire of a company.
Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.

Canadian media struggles with this too.

Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.

It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

They passed another unmistakable road sign & the passengers on the bus screamed as it gained speed & hurtled towards hell.

No one stood up. No one got off. No one took the wheel. Just screams and wistful memories of a different time, a different bus.

Jesus, someone take the fuckin wheel.
