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.

At the ottawa international animation festival listening to a brilliant talk about the reimagining of #Charlottesweb with guru studio and sesame workshop #scriptsky #animation

When you don't have a business card wallet, use something similar.

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. #scriptsky

Believe in magic

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! #scriptsky #shorts #movie #justmakeit

When it's all too much, i turn to music. This tune has good skateboarding vibes all over it. Thought of you @tschrack.bsky.social music.youtube.com/watch?v=YwOo...

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.

F*ck AI and F*CK Zuckerberg. Looks good on you, loser.

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.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Winning a script writing contest could change your life. Or not. It didn't for me. It was a false idol. I decided to chase real connections and creations instead. Make a friend through your work. Find allies. Make something for stage, sound or cinema. The real rewards are waiting. #scriptsky

Describe yourself as a writer with 1 picture. I'm a mucker. I grew up on a farm and learned long ago that mucking out a stall takes will, determination, brute force and a strong stomach to peel back the layers. What about you? #scriptsky #screenwriters

Too excited for my first swing at @digi60.bsky.social starting today! 60 days to make a movie! Catch is released today and then we're off and creating! #scriptsky #ottawa #film #shorts

More than 50 year-old animation studio #Nelvana goes dark amid #Corusentertainment financial troubles. It's devastating but, unfortunately, not surprising.

Sunday is a beautiful day to get in touch with the holiest of music on #vinyl.

One of the most beautiful, inspiring, and important books I've ever read. A true storyteller and journeyman. Captivating words that deeply touched my soul. Thank you @brucespringsteen.net

Hey #scriptsky and #screenwriting friends! Looking for short scripts to read (3-5min in length) Hit me with your best!

This is a real ad on CNN? Not the @theonion.com ?

A radio drama that is gross exaggeration of my time as a broadcaster.

🚨 Introducing: The Great Pitch Competition 🚨 A first-of-its-kind, FREE-to-enter opportunity from two of the industry’s biggest champions of writers: the International Screenwriters' Association (ISA) and @scriptpipeline! #scriptsky

The #nakedgun was everything I hoped. It lived up and surpassed the original in so many ways. Loved seeing it in theater! Summer movies are my happiest days! Never gets old.

Radio re-imagined. Take a trip into sound #scriptsky #radioplay #graphicaudio

Flea market DVD grab. $5 for the lot. #scriptsky #movies

Fun fact: I have an intern Fun fact: our salary is the same #scriptsky #screenwriter

Writing is my thing. Directing, a lot less so. But this experience had been amazing with this group! A sold out show is a nice feeling!!! #scriptsky #sketches #comedy #writing #director

You've "made it" as a writer. What does that look like? If I'm honest, these photos. -A writers room. -Gifted and enthusiastic talent pitching ideas -Actors bringing ur ideas to life -public performance/show This is the world I wanted live in. I've made it. #scriptsky

Ab absolute legend in the making!

Half a dozen friends and colleagues get fired out of radio. The broadcasting programs have been largely cut in Ontario colleges. Live & local? Nope. Who's on the air? No one. What's playing? Nothing new. Radio isn't dead. But it is being choked of its last breath by corporate. #corus #fired

Just finished producing a 13 min sketch for episode 4 of @nsfr.bsky.social. this one nearly killed me. Took over 5 days of editing. A real beast. So excited to share this soon! #scriptsky #comedy #sketches #audiodrama

Directing a live sketch comedy show is a new experience for me. Absolutely loving the collaboration and creative surge! Why did I wait so long to do this??! #scriptsky #sketchcomedy #live #theatre #art

Cat Stevens knew too. Our love to those standing up to #Trump Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Don Henley knew... O' beautiful, for spacious skies Now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie

Not everything in the world is trash... but our new theme park sure is!!! #audiodrama #comedy #newsketchesforradio Listen below. Check out Episode 3 - UR Trash from NSFR - New Sketches For Radio on Amazon Music. music.amazon.ca/podcasts/bc3...

In a week, evil incarnate and autocrat adept-in-training, Donald Trump will stain Canadian soil when he attends the G7 in Alberta. As Canadians, we need to employ every non-violent mechanism to show how much we despise and don't want him in our country; a nation he aims to annex. ELBOWS UP, CANADA!
