Short animated script I wrote debuts Tuesday (International Animation Day!) at UTD. Nice little article about the process and project. #scriptsky #filmsky #animation news.utdallas.edu/arts/kinder-...

My dog does not enjoy a bath… #dogsky #seniordogs #shehatesme

Seriously! The person writing the headline wrote “actress’s”???? We are doomed. At least when they fully embrace ChatGPT maybe grammar will be correct.

#thirdpagethursday - why not share page three of The Best of Everything, a naughty half hour comedy about bisexual pleasure seekers in Palm Beach, Florida. Zoe's elderly husband just died. Upside? His hostile daughter and Zoe's mad crush will be flying into town. Whatever will happen... #scriptsky

Come to the Breakthrough Reading Series next Wednesday, July 30th at the Broadwater Theatre in Hollywood! It's a pretty organic process. Actors arrive, writers mingle, and cast is assembled on the spot for the reading in front of industry professionals. #scriptsky #actorsky #filmsky

Glad to be part of this cool event in Los Angeles! #scriptsky #actorsky #filmsky #scriptchat

Going to be in LA for the Breakthrough Reading Series! 14 pages from my script, Unimaginable, will be read live as part of the event. 4 other scripts as well. Actors cast night of for reading, should be fun! #scriptsky #screenwriting #filmsky #actorsky www.facebook.com/events/14417...

One of my all time favorite actors. She is always authentic on screen. @classichollywood.bsky.social #filmsky #evamariesaint people.com/eva-marie-sa...

So much craziness in the world . Here’s a really good song from 1979. #patbenatar #musicsky youtu.be/aacIZGG9FVE

AI might replace writers but who is going to manage my anxiety over the terrible grammar? Deadline with this repulsive sentence structure -“longtime” what? And longtime again in the next sentence? Apparently the thrift store hates seniors AND correct usage of “there”. #scriptsky #writers #grammar

This was so fun! I write contentless scenes in class that we give context to and do many different ways. But I also can’t resist being goofy! Here they play it straight by getting it so wrong! #scriptsky #actingclass #dallasactors #actingsky

Quarterfinalist! Calling all producers! My kid starts college in the fall (Go Razorbacks!) - Mom needs to sell something! #scriptsky #screenwriting www.stage32.com/happy-writer...

Has anyone had a Klondike bar recently? It is noticeably smaller and the chocolate coating way thinner. In screenwriting lingo, I would say “they lost the narrative” because I don’t think I would do anything for a Klondike bar these days. #scriptsky #icecream

Anyone that threatens Jenny must answer to me! Only those of a certain age will appreciate the genius of what @nickkodama.bsky.social did there! #popculture #itsan80sthing

Hey #scriptsky, it's #tussletuesday, so sharing an action sequence from my time travel holocaust drama, Unimaginable. Discoverable on Coverfly until it's not!:-)

We are all going to die, but at least we’ll go out laughing. Thanks for this @schooley.bsky.social

What’s a movie you think nobody but you and a handful of people have heard of, that you think is a fantastic film? #filmsky #scriptsky

They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes! Caught the puppet playing the child “Otto” on a smoke break! Very disappointing! #animationsky #scriptsky

Arthur’s Theme : “when you are caught between the moon and New York City, the best you can do is fall in love”. Really? That’s the best? 80’s song lyrics often confound me. #filmsky #filmsoundtrack

We have to tell the stories because the time moves so quickly! Gone from Fortnite mom to Razorback mom starting in the Fall! #scriptsky #uarksky #happymothersday

Wow. An American Pope. At least it’s not Trump. He ruins everything but grateful we still have the punchline “is the Pope Catholic?”. #scriptsky #jokesky #popewatch

Clip from acting class with Matt Sellers and Lisa Crosthwait - I love how they are actively listening and working off each other. #actingsky #dallasactors

Ha! I wonder if this is because everyone else deleted their projects from the platform! #scriptsky #screenwriting

The animated short film, Kinder Doll, just got classier! Actor, Anne Beyer is doing our voiceover! Excited to see this project come together! #scriptsky #filmsky #animation

We interrupt #scriptsky and #actingsky to gush over my son wearing a tux to prom with his lovely date:-) #proudmama

Weird random fact - I adore Steve Carell. Dan in Real Life, Crazy Stupid Love, The Morning Show, Date Night. I just feel he elevates everything he’s in. I have never seen an episode of The Office. #actorsky #stevecarell #tvsky #filmsky

The moments in between. This is a brilliant exercise - you may not get a sense of the plot, but you do understand how the film makes you feel.

It is generally a dart throw to enter contests, however if you place, then it is an opportunity to post and possible attention. The fact that Coverfly has not sent out an email or posted anything to their website is odd to me. #scriptsky #screenplaycontests nofilmschool.com/coverfly-is-...

My acting and writing students are better looking than yours! Got sent this joyful photo of Dominic, Matt and Pat attending the Dallas International Film Festival:-) #scriptsky #actorsky #dallasactors #dallaswriters #DIFF

Babs was riveted by the scene work in acting class tonight! #dogsky #actingclass #dallasactors #goodgirl

No hashtags, no reach! This is an in person workshop in East Dallas. #scriptsky #screenwriting #dallaswriters #dallasscreenwriters

Dallas Screenwriting Workshop. Four weeks of writing exercises exploring idea generation, character development, plot/structure, and goal-driven dialogue. Intimate, supportive group! All levels are welcome (those experienced can learn from beginners, those new can improve with skilled writers).

Filmmakers. The demise of TikTok seems to be urban legend! So maybe you want to submit a short film and go to Canne. #filmsky #scriptsky #filmmakers

My first attempt at a promo video for my acting class in Dallas! I need clearer messaging, preferably less dark music, but fun to learn a new program. I teach screenwriting and acting. #dallasactor #scriptsky #storytelling #actingclass www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjNmngUs/

Fun collaborating with Katrina Rushing on the music for the animated short film, Kinder Doll! Also scored this amazing mug in a thrift shop! #utd #scriptsky #shortfilms #animation

My dog wanted to say hi, but she fell asleep. Snoring is her love language. #dogsky #dogsrule #seniordog

Got rid of my dining room table and turned the room into a cosy writing space. Okay, what amazing story will come of this effort? #scriptsky #storytelling #midcenturymodern

I show this clip in my class as an example of revealing information visually for impact. Every time she says "Daisy gets hers first" - you feel bad for Cooper. THEN you get more information with an ACTION. That's good storytelling. #scriptsky #dogs #storytelling www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHvE...

For weeks I was trying to think of the book my son loved when he was 8 years old! Truth be told, I think I might have loved it more at the time. Just delightful. Sam did not love to read, so this was a special find. If you have a reluctant reader, wanted to pass along. #booksky

@smerconish.bsky.social I can answer your question about declining marriage rates with a question to you. When your kids were little, who found doctors and scheduled appointments, set up play dates or researched camps in your marriage? Women are not as willing to work full time in & out of the home.

@utdallas.bsky.social Who is looking for a creative, fun summer class? Screenwriting online remote learning! Animation and games major? It counts toward your degree! #scriptsky #utdallas #screenwriting

Really love this. Competition, especially in the creative arts, is working with others, not against them. #scriptsky #billmurray #filmsky #snl www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2wH3MT1/

Writing can be an isolated place. And promoting yourself uncomfortable. I am trying to learn to be a self advocate. Last night shot a few promotional videos for my screenwriting and acting classes. There was joy in the room! We’ll see what attracts and what sticks! #filmsky #scriptsky #welltoldgold

#richardchamberlain was a lovely man. All I remember about The Perfect Family premiere however is that I paid someone $80 to blow out my hair and ended up with that! #scriptsky #filmsky #classichollywood

To put this whole Signal mess into a filmmaking example. THIS is the Trump administration's tactic - it's gaslighting. #scriptsky #politics #filmmaking www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cE3...

The screenplay is not meant to be read but seen! And that takes an army - here with directing team, Adam and Elliot and actors, including create force Anne Beyer! #scriptsky #filmsky #screenwriting

Making Early Bird dining cool again. The Lounge Here, Dallas, Texas. What would the log line be to this story? #scriptsky #filmmaking
