🚨 FilmFrontier Studios is seeking a freelance writer or writers for on-going PAID writing for our non-fiction podcasts THE DIRECTORS SERIES & TINSELTOWN GHOST STORIES. Looking for those who have experience in crafting engaging long-form (10-15 page) essays that both entertain and inform. (1/2)

It's May, so it must be New Headshot season. Cast me in that thing, or maybe in that other thing.

I think maybe instead of focusing on what will be the next Coverfly you should just be focusing on writing and polishing and growing your network and finding a writers group, but most importantly writing.

Bummer about Coverfly. Met and worked with so many great writers through them. Things really changed when they were bought by Backstage. Hopefully other ways to bridge the gap between non-union writers and the industry will emerge.

Guess it's a good thing that when I was with KMR I never made any money 👀 deadline.com/2025/04/kmr-...

If the stock market keeps crashing like this pretty soon we'll have to start calling it Final Draft.

👋 hey friends! A new baseball-themed ⚾️ ep of Tinseltown Ghost Stories is out. We dig into the dark history of Dodger Stadium & the once vibrant communities of the Chavez Ravine, now buried underneath its 50,000 seats. Find the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & wherever you listen to podcasts.

Doin' a thing

It's done.

We filmed THE VEIL in this district. The property owner/farmer was kind, fair, but also had Donald Trump Jr.'s book on his coffee table, and we had to hold filming once or twice because the neighbor was having shooting practice. This is incredible.

Writing with ADHD is fun because when my writing app isn't working properly and I need to restart the computer, I lose two minutes to the restart and about 45 to whatever I got distracted by in those two minutes.

Tomorrow we embark on a two-week water bottle tour, our first as a production company. Hopefully we'll have a go-picture or two on the other side. If not, at least we'll be hydrated. 🙏 💦

What's not mentioned in this excerpt is that this was sponsored by Third Way, a think tank that is singlemindedly devoted to convincing Democrats to cut the left out of the party. God knows the DNC has its problems, but it's misleading to frame this as a mainstream Democratic conference.

God you just know every person who went to high school with that press secretary hated her SO. MUCH.

Thank you Jane 👏 variety.com/2025/film/ne...

hello fellow followers of #scriptsky - want to know how i write action scenes and what it takes to make them pop? here’s my handy guide/tutorial/essay! okbjgm.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/...

Boston dealt with British occupation, led the charge against slavery, and endured 86 years without a World Series trophy. We can handle you, Homan. whdh.com/news/trump-b...

Threads: Vapid mass engagement with strangers. Bluesky: An occasional hello from a friend. Facebook: Aunties posting emoji and sharing AI images. LinkedIn: Affirmations your boss posted six weeks ago. X: The dude you avoided in college who still wants to debate you.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Handling my existential dread the same way I did when I was a kid: Legos.

listen up all you #screenwriting #screenwriter who do #tvwriting and want to become a #tvwriter - i have not one but TWO, two new tutorials on writing great action scenes and giving notes! go check ‘em out! okbjgm.weebly.com/essays.html

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

350 Rabbis took out a full page ad in the NYTimes today opposing Trump’s plan for Palestine and calling it ethnic cleansing.

Advice from a postdoc who worked through the Bolsonaro years...good advice to anyone feeling a bit distracted at the moment. "The best “fuck you” to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight"

What an oddly specific number, I wonder how they came up with...oh...

I'm writing a new feature about our current political climate. It's gots vampires.

My mom was a social worker and my dad raced greyhounds, so I was fortunate to get into film school on student loans. A lot of people I went to school with came from a much more advantaged situation than I did, and the art they made often reflected this fact. I see their upbringing, not mine.

Our cosmic horror feature THE VEIL has been viewed over 500,000 times since its debut on Sci-Fi Central two months ago. See what has viewers calling it "grippingly brilliant," "suspenseful till the end," and "a hauntingly thoughtful and redemptive movie." m.youtube.com/watch?v=YOTE...

Microsoft: No, it’s not just that the idiot machine we built IS an idiot. It will also turn everybody who relies on it into idiots.

Massachusetts is home to universities and research institutions that lead our country in saving lives and creating jobs. Trump's NIH cuts put them at risk. We won't allow this Administration to play politics with our public health or undermine our economy. We're suing.

Googles response basically being “it’s not making things up, it’s just incapable of telling facts from made up bullshit” would have destroyed a product in the days before the economy was propped up by a thin framework of scams lashed together with investment capital

After the overbearing weight of all the 2.5-3 hour Oscar nominees, the thoughtful simplicity of A REAL PAIN (90 minutes) was a much-needed change of pace. Definitely my favorite film of the year thus far. Give Keiran and Jesse all of their flowers. #filmsky

a blocklist specifically for people who say shit like "drumpf" and "SCROTUS" and "elmo" when talking about serious politic issues

Wild that he got people to protest *in support of* the IRS.

Democratic politicians clinging to their "Joy" messaging.

The irony that Donald Trump's political career began by insisting the guy running the government was an immigrant from Africa.

It's really weird out there in the industry right now, but it also seems as though people are finding solace where we always find it - community. From actors on set to producers I chat with to writers online, we are all experiencing the same grief and are growing stronger together. Art always wins.

Now they're the Sad Boys. 😞

Nothing says "convincing myself I'm Batman and not just a dude going thru a midlife crisis" quite like driving a matte black cybertruck.

This is the dorkiest coup in history.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Alright I gotta be honest. I’m sick of this meme that there won’t be elections. In most authoritarian systems there still are elections they just manipulate the results. Acting like there won’t be elections RIGHT NOW when you can push back through consolidating popular support is just pure cowardice

Congrats on your 270 pounds of Can't Defend, Lakers fans. I'm sure he won't lose in 5 again.

This months edition of I HAVE SOME NOTES is out! We're tackling the question of what "too long" notes mean, and how to address them. Please enjoy and share if you do the first part! i-have-some-notes.beehiiv.com/p/what-s-len...

Sorry everyone. Groundhog saw his shadow, it'll be six more weeks of January.

Some good news. Ken Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party (go MN) is a true progressive known for building consensus, supported by both Tim Walz & Ilhan Omar, as well as Jim Clyburn. What's more: he beat the guy backed by Chuck Schumer. 👏 www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

More of this please. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...
