California just joined the World Health Organization. I love it.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Got to read @juliapearlstein.bsky.social’s Andy and Me and it’s a lovely creative take on a biopic for art history nerds and anyone with complicated relationships with their parents. #scriptsky #specscriptshoutout

When I worked on #TheOffice, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a 🧵 on them… 🧵1 #Scriptsky #Screenwriting #WritingCommunity

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

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. 🧵1 #Scriptsky #Screenwriting #Filmsky

I’m delighted that ANDY & ME made the ISA Fast Track Fellowship’s Top 50. Thanks @networkisa.bsky.social! Congrats to all the writers, whether you made this cut or not. I’ve learned how arbitrary these things can be, and how much depends on the taste of a single reader. Writing a script is a win.

I struggle with loglines. And based on the #Scriptsky #Screenwriting #WritingCommunity posts I’ve seen, so do lots of other people. Loglines are hard! But if you’re trying to get people interested in your script/book, it helps to have a great one. So here’s a 🧵 on some LOGLINE DOs and DON’Ts. 🧵1

Up to $733 and my badge and flight are officially paid for. I’m crying 😭 Thank you so much to everyone for their help, I’m blown away #scriptsky

I’m pretty sure this audio is just added to the footage from DC but it would be extremely funny to do this in real life to troops occupying American cities. Just blasting Hanoi Hannah propaganda broadcasts from the Vietnam War.

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

When I worked on #TheOffice, my best friend on the show was also an aspiring writer. He was talented, well-liked, worked hard, but his writing career didn’t pan out. Years later, his biggest regret was “not being more ENTITLED.” I knew just what he meant. A 🧵 on good/bad entitlement. #Scriptsky 1

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

ANDY & ME An elderly realist painter relives his crazy adventures moving to New York with art-school buddy Andy Warhol while sparring with his filmmaker daughter over who gets to frame the final portrait of his life. Based on true events. Black List Recommended #scriptsky #screenpit #fea #bi

ANDY & ME Logline: The true story of a young artist tasked with keeping his oddball pal Andy Warhol out of trouble when they move to New York to make it big. Now 94, he spars with his filmmaker daughter over who gets to frame his memories. #ScreenPit #Fea #Drdy #Bi #IP #ISA #SeRe #PG13 #WrWo #40Up

but that's the beauty of #theatre. it's an ephemeral moment shared by performer and audience breathing the same air, sharing the same energy. it's sorta like magic.

Andy & Me just scored another 8 on the Black List! I have no idea how to exploit this, so... If anyone's interested in reading a meta biopic/dramedy about the true story of pre-fame Warhol and his hapless best friend's misadventures trying to make it as artists in NYC, hit me up. #scriptsky

Wild news about airing “Good Night, and Good Luck” live the night before it closes — *and* I absolutely love that this release uses the word penultimate, and that no one dumbed that down.

I decided to apply to the Sundance development lab 2 days ago, and got my application in today with 8 minutes to spare. Managed to write all but 1 of the essays, but was so scared I wouldn’t be able to fill everything in on time that I just wrote “Gah! Deadline!” on that one. Oops! 😬 #scriptsky
