🚨FILM MAKERS IN NY/NJ🚨 I’m a producer (student) with 10 years of budgeting experience in the Ny area & looking for some of my first producing experience. If you have a film in the next few months and are looking for a hungry producing assistant, I would LOVE to talk & work #filmsky #scriptsky 1/2

Pitched my film to an executive producer for my film program last week. She mentioned it was truly original, marketable, timely and just what the horror genre needs and told me to absolutely finish this script. Today I sent act 1 to my agent. It’s never too late. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

In 12 days directing my first film. With actors and lights and sound and everything. It’s only 4 minutes. But I’m hosting 20 auditions. Making a shot list. Planning out the colors. The mood. Even original music. I’m going to be slow & want retakes for coverage. 1/2 #filmsky #scriptsky

Am I right yall that period pieces cost a lot and if it can be contemporary, it’s best to go that route? #scriptsky #scriptsky+

I've been thinking about this for a while and going back and forth on it, so fuck it, we ball. I'm looking to work with an Indigenous queer screenwriter to cowrite a screenplay with. the idea isn't set and stone but i'd love for it to have a queer romance. 1/3 #scriptsky #scriptsky+

If you like reading THE MACABRE or think a story about a Black artist who reams up with a HOT agent from the British Museum to find and tame cursed magical paintings is your jam then you should buy the book because a little birdie told me we might be open to a sequel. www.amazon.com/Macabre-Delu...

I have finished my outline for what I'm calling for fans of SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER & i'm VERY excited to hopefully having it for my film agent when we meet in NOV! writing this here for accountability. and even better? its 95 minutes long [projected] #scriptsky #scriptsky+

This is such an odd question but do I know anyone who is or knows a furry and is willing to be interviewed for a documentary exercise for film school? Must be in nyc. Or nj.

I can’t wait!

Does anyone have a good outlining method they love for writing scripts? SAVE THE CAT is good but not great for me. I'll pulled some stuff from Dan Harmon’s Story Circle. But something that works more on beats, turns, events would be great. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

So honored the macabre even almost 2 weeks after pub is still finding its audience and still ranking high. I appreciate your support! If books about horror, art, colonialism and queerness are you thing you should buy THE MACABRE. www.amazon.com/Macabre-Delu...

Just a little something I’m FINALLY trying my hand at. HALLOW BE THY NAME (QUEER HORROR): A graduate returns to his Catholic alma mater to stop the horrors he was led to believe were imaginary from completing an eighteen-year ritual. #FirstPageFriday #FunPageFriday #scriptSky #ScriptSky+

IN ONE WEEK THE MACABRE DEBUTS. HOLY SHIT. When I first finished THE MACABRE my editor asked me "Who do you want to blurb this book" and Andrea Stewart came to mind first. The Drowning Empire, changed how I thought about fantasy. Don't forget to preorder! www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

We are 8 days out from THE MACABRE! I’m so in love with this blurb from the Cynthia Pelayo! An amazing author, guest speaker and a huge advocate for diversity! If you want to learn how to blend genres you must check out VANISHING DAUGHTERS! www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

I finished outlining this dark comedy satirical screenplay about the commodification of Black bodies and I fear no one is gonna get it #scriptsky #scriptsky+

“Evocative, eerie, and beguiling. The Macabre expertly blends the best of both horror and fantasy. I loved this read.” I’m so in love with this blurb from the Alexis Henderson! I remember reading THE YEAR OF WITCHING and saying, “I want to write like this!” www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

In 10 days this beautiful book comes out! If a book about a Black painter, combating over 160 years of colonialism, and a system hell bent on defining history to suit oppressors, with commentary about the starving artist trope, dark magic, and a POC love story is your jam, this book is for you!

I start film school today so I’ve taken up over the past week photography to learn ISO, aperture settings etc! I’m not perfect yet, but still getting the hang of manual mode under different lighting. The ISO is a little too high I think but we live and we learn.

FYI I’m going on tour for THE MACABRE! If a story about a painter destined to hunt down his ancestors 10 cursed paintings interest you, I hope you buy the book or I see you on tour! www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

@kosokojackson.bsky.social returns to OMP on Friday September 12th to celebrate the release of THE MACABRE. This adult fantasy horror is about dark art, a family curse spreading 150 years, a handsome agent of the British museum, and a painter who can tell the future through his paint.

Screenwriters of #scriptsky #scriptsky+ as I start film school and committing to finishing my first feature screenplay this fall, do you recommend. Going big and going home with a more adventurous screenplay being your first? Or playing it safe with something simpler and easier?

Hello all! As I go back to grad school, I'm open to taking on some freelance clients for organic/paid social media thought leadership and more. If you know anyone in the social justice space looking for some support this year would love to be steered their way. Qualifications in next post.

Happy Pride the 22nd! How about some near future dystopian starring a Black gay teenage hero who has a smart aleck mouth and is an aspiring journalist. “Survive the Dome” by Kosoko Jackson @kosokojackson.bsky.social has a dome lowered over Baltimore and police with zero accountability. /1

Also if anyone on #scriptsky wants the rights they are open and my agent at WME would love to talk to you!
