I wasn’t really a fan of these recent versions of IT but that #WelcomeToDerry pilot was absolutely mind-blowing. Perfect way to start a season.

Today is one of those days when I absolutely deserve a glass of wine (or several).

It is the worst thing to go to a premiere you’re really looking forward to and share a theater with a bunch of influencers there for the photo op and not much else

I've loved every moment of Task. What a show.

Few things as cool as hearing “you won the pitch” to start the day

I hate the sound design for The Paper. It highlights just how plain and dull the rest of the show is. I really wanted to like it. But I can't.

I will never forgive the Safdie brothers for making Julia Fox a thing.

I saw Billy Wilder’s The Apartment last time and was fascinated not just by his amazing storytelling abilities, but by the craft it took to make films. We lost something on the way.

A few days ago, I found just a note that I had left a couple of months back that just said: Object found in road. Didn't remember what the hell it meant, and then it came to me. And I have 11 pages of a new script I don't even know what the hell it's about, but it's fun as hell.

I wrote about my writing an creating process for the past year or so. And how letting go of the outcome became a goal. open.substack.com/pub/salvador...

I don't think we're talking enough about Topher Grace's comeback.

This Monday made sure the rest of the week was gonna suck in comparison

And done! Some BTS from the micro short. Let’s see how this goes 😅

Directing a micro short today because why not

New selection for Meztliapan! Thanks so much @horrorigins.com #scriptsky

It’s just failure if you don’t learn from it.

Shooting a micro short this Friday for under a 100 dollars and I bet it’s gonna get selected a bunch of times because my six-year-old is the main actor. “Where it’s always night”

A new selection for Meztliapan! Had to jump on and share a #FirstPageFriday because I love this short—and honestly, someone should give me money to make it. #scriptsky

The more I think about it, the more I confirm Black is the best song ever made.

Finally saw Together and the difference between Alison Brie and Dave Franco is distracting. Great storytelling, but I was honestly fixated on that.

Pressed Submit on a project I love for a program that would be a dream. Getting this far should be enough but no: let's go for the whole thing.

I DESERVE IT ALL... youtu.be/wiALRpD0Ztg?...

The difference between a drone guy and a professional drone operator is everything.

Two episodes into the Amy Bradley Netflix doc and it’s a clusterfuck of mistakes by everyone. Holy shit.

There comes a point where no amount of coffee is enough.

I haven’t even started…

I have a bold goal for today: to close every open tab on my laptop.

“For you, me, people like us... even the worst day on a movie set is better than the best day doing anything else.”

Decided to wear my Filmquest Cthulhu-themed shirt and now my six-year-old wants to know everything about it and is asking for books and pictures.

We're so back... youtu.be/_p8T7JT8LK0?...

But that's what alcohol is for. Cheers!

Self-doubt sucks...

Honestly impossible to pick just 10. But these may be the ones that stayed with me the most.

Seen in Coyoacán, Mexico.

Every time I watch a Danny Boyle film I think he’s the best filmmaker in the world and I don’t think I’m ever wrong about this.

Danny Boyle said “I’m gonna make the most beautiful movie of the year” and delivered #28YearsLater.

Script of the day:

Not one to share good news. So I’m having a celebratory drink just because.

*a fart noise. I look at my 6-year-old. Me: you farted. Kid: three times. But the other two were silent.

In my 20's, I directed a horror feature (of course) with my former business partner. We didn't get finishing funds but it was a fun exercise nonetheless. Well, I found the final cut in an old drive and I think I'll upload it to vimeo because why not.

I really enjoyed Your Friends and Neighbors. But there are just too many plot holes for me to ignore.

Part of the hype of AI is created by people whose careers are limited to claiming that AI is the future of everything and not much else.

Thursday's Flowers A short story open.substack.com/pub/salvador...

And I just realized the AFF Screenplay Competition closes on Wednesday. And as much as I love Inertia, it needs some rework I think. Plus, 85 dollars is a lot of pesos.

Submitted the last 15 pages to the #FabSix and I’m glad they connected so well to the ending. I loved every piece of writing this. Now, on to the rewrites.

Everyone on Your Friends And Neighbors is a POS

Me watching everyone pay hundreds of dollars to the Black list, Nicholl and screenwriting contests I didn’t even know existed:

Just say Ibiza and Barcelona the normal way, guys.

My frontman 🫡

111 pages later, it's fade out for this script. I couldn't be happier. Time to rest. #FabSix #ScriptSky
