Twenty six years ago I was on set at the now destroyed Ambassador Hotel in LA. 1st AD on Dancing In September with this talented cast. (I also got the location manager to take me to the corridor where Bobby Kennedy was shot by Sirhan Sirhan, in June 5, 1968.

#ThrowbackThursday I found a Polaroid of my friend Stacie Randall, we met on a TV show and discovered we lived a few blocks away- started hanging out. Stacie was very cool, acted in a lot of sequels in the 90s. She’s retired now, with kids, married to a composer Jack Allocco.

Damn, that’s one hell of a query letter. 🤞🏻

A great film to check out on Veterans Day.

#ThrowbackThursday In 1995 worked as an editors assistant on the world’s first interactive film Mr. payback with Bob Gale, writer of The Back To The Future films. It was an experiment that never made it to the theaters.

Bizarre choice in the original 3:10 to Yuma, Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) whistles the theme song when they load him as a prisoner on the stagecoach.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Lew Palter!🎂 he was a fabulous human being. Lew was a wonderful teacher and actor. He was memorable in the role of Isidor Straus, In Titanic. I was lucky enough to direct him in a short film. He was an amazing man.

Nice way to start the week! Keep grinding ! ☕️

Crazy, October 30th and I have strawberries blooming! 🍓

Up early writing, cold weather, lukewarm coffee, and hot keyboard. ☕️

Not every query works out the way you intended, but I must say, with rejection, I respect a producer who takes the time to get back to you and wish you success. Not everything is the right fit. Mutual respect. It’s the little things.

Valeria Golino turned 60! I met her in the mid-90s and shared a very memorable Hollywood experience with her! And yes her eyes are really that amazing. Happy Birthday!

Sealed with Blood 🩸 #1, Action Adventure and #4 Horror screenplay on The Black List! “It’s safe to say that there’s a strong market for SEALED WITH BLOOD.” #spec #action #adventure #horror love triangle. 8’s on The Black List! #Scriptsky

Just caught the end of Flirting with Disaster. They actually rolled the whole credits… haven’t seen my name roll on tv in a while.

#ThrowbackThursday - I worked on Robert Altman’s Gun: Following the journey of a particular pearl-handled gun as it falls into the hands of different sets of characters. Incredible cast, and I was lucky to have shot a scene at Chasen's Restaurant before it was torn down.

Polished a scene yesterday using juxtaposition, and it turned out fantastic. Really love the clash of images, totally locks in the theme of the story.

I can’t recommend this enough. Brent was a good man. I was lucky to meet a few times. Good friends with my brother-in-law and he was in my sisters wedding party. He was a fantastic storyteller. #scriptsky

I worked on The Love Letter with Kate, genuinely nice, and extremely funny. I had no idea she had this hidden talent! Bravo!

New review! 8 on The Black List #horror #action #adventure #spec #scriptsky #screenplay “It’s safe to say that there’s a strong market for SEALED WITH BLOOD. It’s exactly the kind of script that embodies “the same but different” feeling that so often gets producers and executives excited.” #film

Query sent!🤞🏻 “Watch me run a 50-yard dash with my legs cut off!"

Good morning, polished THE RED THIRST this weekend. After her murder, an Irish woman takes on the role vengeful supernatural creature who stops perverse men from committing crimes against women. (Crazy IMDB hits last week.) I guess because of Halloween 🎃 approaching. #horror #scriptsky
