#scriptchat #scriptsky Age of Aquarius was elevated to a semifinalist in the sci-fi category. Hopping to be named a finalist Monday!

#scriptchat #scriptsky So as to not bore this evening. My work collected 13 awards and placements this week. All the details can be read at lotterverse.com/Updates notables: Monitor and The Devil’s Cut got Best Feature Script nods. My new drama was 3-3 as a silver award or honorable mention.

@realtimbrennan.bsky.social @juliapearlstein.bsky.social @jasmineaziz.bsky.social congrats to the writers in the @networkisa.bsky.social Diversity Initiative Finals! Tim, Julia and Jasmine stood out to me. tag yourself for a big pat the back! #scriptsky #screenwriting

#pridemonth #scriptsky lovemebaitmefilm.com/home A message to ALL writers. Watch the trailer. Find or host a screening. I learned so much watching this documentary. It isn’t enough to have LGBTQ+ in your story. It is how those characters are handled and what they experience that matters.

Well this is embarrassing. Each one of this is IMDB qualifying. Which I have recently started to use a pro account. The official selections are done. The finalist have a chance at Winner/Gold/Silver/Honorable Mention. The first accolades for Are You Ok? My first drama. #scriptsky 12/12!

#WIPWednesday #scriptsky Page 1 and 104 of “Are You Ok?” A twist on a vigilante thriller where the cost to act is very real.

Excited to share Age of Aquarius has been elevated to Semifinalist in Story Pro Awards 19th Annual Screenplay Contest. Congrats to my fellow SF, and good luck! #scriptsky

As writers we chase the recommend/must buy. To get there we must hone our craft. Learn from our mistakes. Be bold by stepping our of our comfort zone to grow. The coverage on my latest project is proof I am growing. “Are You Ok?” is a dark, dangerous and neccessary. #scriptsky

Honored to share that The Devil’s Cut has been selected as an Unproduced Script in this year’s Shawna Shea Memorial Film Fest. July 16-18 in Worcester MA! #scriptsky

Happy to share #firstpagefriday #scriptsky Almost done with my latest thriller. RUOK?

My ride to the last day of Block Island Film Festival. #scriptsky. My script Monitor has been nominated for Best unproduced feature.

Excited to share Age of Aquarius has been named a Quarter Finalist in the 19th Annual Story Pros Screenwriting contest. Congrats to my fellow QF’s. And good luck the rest of the way! #scriptsky

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky As Age of Aquarius marches on in the competition circuit I figured I’d share how much Page one has changed. The first is very writerly and was for me as a spec. The second is a Director/production ready.

#scriptsky Age of Aquarius has been granted the Award of Excellence by the Accolade Global Film Competition for Script/Writer. I am humbled to be on a list with Oscar and Emmy honorees.

Now I just need to get the first one up to this level! The Dream Weaver #scriptsky

This is the type of relationship that gets movies made! #scriptsky

#scriptsky while it is not what the industry means by a “Double Recommend” (writer/script) I’ll take these two recommends any freakin’ day. A real 1-2 punch. Ready to go.

@juliapearlstein.bsky.social Congrats on Andy & Me as a Second Round Selection in ISA Diversity Initiative. I think it’s time for me to give this one a read! I’d be honored if you’re willing.

@networkisa.bsky.social There are almost 500 unique names/projects on this year's list of Second Round Diversity Initiative selections! Monitor is among them. I am humbled to be listed among names that I recognize and look forward to meeting those that I don't! #scriptsky

Gonna share this because, why the hell not? Let’s go! Age of Aquarius. 2 notes. A big “it shouldn’t work but it does!” #scriptsky

This mom is the most important person in the galaxy. She’s just learned her husband is missing/presumed dead. Her youngest is about to be deployed on a high-risk peace-keeping mission and she has to convince him there is still good in the universe. #scriptsky #momsinscreenplays

#firstpagefriday the first 10 matter! I’ve posted it before. But here is page 1 of Age of Aquarius. Award of Excellence winner at Indiefest Film Awards this week. Notes from a contest judge. #scriptsky

#scriptsky Shameless plug; I will be part of a live screenwriter’s panel at the Block Island Film Festival May 26 and again May 28. Join me and support #indiefilm. I will be talking shop and my nominated script Monitor. blockislandfilmfestival.org

#Scriptsky having all the assets ready makes for a very easy day! This InkTip dashboard lit up today after I posted my latest script!

I just got reader’s feedback from a contest. I am happy with the results. They will love the latest draft. I fixed a few things before resubmitting it at the deadline. I love me a contest that allows new drafts at a discounted rate. It will be a different reader so but still. #scriptsky

Having fun #scriptsky A WIP movie poster pitch for Age of Aquarius

#scriptsky. All After a very crazy weekend in the Lotterverse. I have issued press for each of the projects and awards given. Please checkout the lotterverse.com/Updates if you want to learn more about placements, Monitor’s progress and more! Bonus some scripts have audio table reads and pitch decks

#scriptsky incredibly humbled to share that Age of Aquarius has won an Award of Excellence for Script/Writer. theindiefest.com (There some big caliber projects in this event. ) This script will be making big moves this year.

The juries are back from this weekend's selections. Frozen Lies takes the Best Feature Script. Age of Aquarius, Shadows of the Storm, and Palace Pizza wrap up with Silver. That is a pretty good Monday if you ask me. I am very happy with these results. #scriptsky

These results came in overnight. Palace Pizza is a brand new crime drama project. Peer reviews indicate it’s one of my best. These scripts are still in the running for awards so hopefully I’ll be upgrading these on Tuesday! #scriptsky

#scriptsky Some overseas results came in on my projects. These scripts finished as official selections. Guardrails is steady. First placements for Shadows of the Storm and The Dream Weaver:Walkers of the Waking World. The pair are improving every day.

#scriptsky I think I am on to something. This is Shadows of the Storm (after a serious rewrite) and The Dream Weaver: Walkers of the Waking World.

Last win from april. Frozen Lies took home Outstanding Achievement Unproduced Feature Screenplay Mass Indie Film Fest! #scriptchat #scriptsky

#scriptchat #scriptsky I’ll be on a screenwriter’s panel at Block Island Film Fest on May 26, and again 28 talking craft an the nominated feature script Monitor. If you’re in New England cone to the Island and talk shop!

#scriptchat #scriptsky I wrote fade out on a new epic fantasy! And that was fun! Wrote a feature based on a short for a director (it’s going into pre-production next week!) 3rd and 4th features this year.

#scriptchat #scriptsky these happened this week!

#scriptchat #scriptsky Let’s fire this month up! April was great. Monitor finished as Category winner in Fast Track. I signed a shopping agreement for it. News is at lotterverse.com/Updates

Monitor continues to get honors on the screenwriting comp circuit. This time, the Pre-Pro Script Dev program. (Write, feedback, resubmit style) has bestowed an Honorable Mention. May has just started, and reps and producers will receive invites to participate. #scriptsky

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky I’ve spent some time glowing up my Austin Film Fest Second rounder from a 12 page short to a 94 page feature. Debuting today is the new page 1 (cold open) of the Dream Weaver: Walkers of the Waking World. The Sequel to Shadows of the Storm

Monitor was named as a Semi-Finalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Sci-Fi & Fantasy Contest. Written as horror, but it identifies as sci-fi. It is really that grounded! Good luck to the other projects on this list. Congrats to all of the writers who submitted. #scriptsky @networkisa.bsky.social

#scriptsky. Don’t dismiss film festivals and networking. On the back of my Outstanding Achievement for Unproduced Feature, I have delivered a feature length adaption of a Short film from the same event. Goes into production next month! I get screenplay by and producer credit. Will keep you posted.

#scriptsky I think I’m too close with this exec. Recent feedback on my fantasy script. I can’t get over the theme-park ride comment. That eliminated all but 2 studios. I’ll see myself out.

#scriptsky The team has produced a new poster for Monitor ahead of May’s push. I really like it. Thoughts?

Shadows of the Storm pitch deck draft. (3 last pages are franchise/writer’s statement and call to action!) #scriptsky

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky I spent a week working on a project I hadn’t touched in 2 years. Here is page one of Shadows of The Storm. The first spoke word happens on page 6. The rewrite is nearly done. Tight 88 pages. I have some character work to do in act 2. Stay tuned for updates.
