This is a community thing now. Eagle has landed. We got a draft! Congrats @leahfromsd.bsky.social 🙌🏼 #scriptsky #filmsky #writingcompetition #shortfilm

Day 5 just talking to myself, waiting for @leahfromsd.bsky.social ‘s first draft. Browsing the usual suspects for possible locations. Totally forgot I live next to a lake 😂 This is indie filmmaking. Not reinventing the wheel here. And def not overcomplicating things #scriptsky #filmsky

Development has kicked off. Stay tuned 📺 #scriptsky #filmmakingsky (is that a thing?) @leahfromsd.bsky.social

Who can work when Knicks are tearing up broadway?! Go New York go New York GO!

Look at this liminal ass train ride home from NYC I’m about to have. Wheres that mfer kane hiding?!

Late night editing just got vibe-enhanced. #postproduction

Shoutout to @georgemxf.bsky.social for inspiring me to create this little genre-bending diddy with his contest! I've been stuck on what to write next, and now...I'm not 📺 #scriptsky

Thank you to every writer who submitted. It was tough! The pile was strong. I read every one personally, and several are still stuck on my mind. If you weren’t selected this time…that’s not the end of our conversation. #scriptsky

The selection for the Night Drive Short Film Competition is @leahfromsd.bsky.social for THE ENGAGEMENT. Congrats, Leah! An email will go out shortly! #scriptsky

Drumroll please… #scriptsky

Really excited. I need to have some lunch right now and then will announce the selection shortly after that! I will not use the word “winner” because these are all terrific ideas. #scriptsky

This is going to be a long night. All the submissions are VERY good. Unique and different, each in their own way. I’m not just saying that.

Submissions are closed! Thanks to all who submitted pitches, and the kind souls who liked, shared, and helped spread the word. There are SO MANY great pitches! I will need the weekend to review and pick the winner. Announcement will be made Monday afternoon! #scriptsky Also, let’s go Knicks!💙🧡🗽

Also. Bare with me, my wife went out and I have bath an bedtime duties - will return shortly to field any questions

Quick recap as the countdown ticks. 1) I had the submission close time set for last night at 11:59 by accident. It should have been tonight 😆 So if you tried to submit from this morning uo until now and saw “submission closed” - please submit again NOW, I fixed it!! #scriptsky tally.so/r/aQa8eX

6 more hours to go! #scriptsky surely there are more pitches out there tally.so/r/aQa8eX

Damn. Not only did I get a lot of submissions. They’re all really really really good! This is going to be tough! There’s also 15 hours left until submissions close! Lets go, pitch me! #scriptsky #writers www.nightdrivenyc.com#competition

Still time to pitch me. #scriptsky www.nightdrivenyc.com#competition The prize: – $500 on first draft delivery – Co-producer credit (screen + IMDB) – Writer in residence on set – Direct involvement in the second draft – Creative connection and mentorship from a working filmmaker/editor

Now I’ll never set-up shame anyone, but because I see it in my algorithms all the time I gotta get something off my chest. Ive never met a professional working editor that has one of these super clean, ultra modern, minimalist fancy ass edit setups. If your deep in post life your machine’s a mess! 😂

About a week into the Night Drive Short Film Pitch competition so far. We got some heat coming in! Lots of horror and supernatural pieces. Ya’ll are twisted, I love it! Where my crime junkies, edgy dramatic thriller, an scifi peeps at? Pitch me! #scriptsky tally.so/r/aQa8eX

Man I came in hot on Blue Sky and then dipped for a while lol my season was ending and we got slammed as usual #postproductionlife any #realitytv peeps on here?

In the past 2 years a lot of younger people have reached out to me asking for advice on how to get started working in Film and TV. Then, I was invited on a podcast from my old high school and turned out that half the class was interested in becoming filmmakers or working in media in some capacity.

Part of why I’m doing this competition is because I had no filmmaking or writing friends between 15-26. So if you’ve been writing in silence, this is for you. No track record needed, just a GOOD STORY worth telling. #scriptsky 🎬 tally.so/r/aQa8eX

Trying something different. Calling all screenwriters tally.so/r/aQa8eX I’m looking for my next short film and I want you to help me find it. #scriptsky

Parents: You ever see a random orb float across your baby monitor and you’re just like “thats a ghost.”

Is there a #ufosky ? I need to know this information

My show will be wrapping before I know it, so lining up fresh reads for the downtime that’s coming. #summerreadinglist #books #postproductionlife

I edited The Shed! #splatterday2k #TheShed 🧛🏻‍♂️ @thatjasonrice.bsky.social @jameshollaman.bsky.social

Just hearing about this SHY GIRL fiasco. Fascinating story. A lot to unpack and raises a lot of questions. But its another clear example of the power of “keyboard warriors” and what happens when there’s a lack of context and understanding. I support the writer.

So #scriptsky is a lot of “wip” sharing and updating. I’ll play a bit, although I hate boasting. I have first drafts for 2 feature films I wrote in the last 8-10 months. An incredible achievement after 5 years of writers block. Halfway through 2nd draft on this one and so far its special #horrorsky

Internet archive is a wonderful place to get lost

Wow. On a specific project thats been 3 years in the tinkering phase. My folder has 6 different “outlines” and notes documents. All at different turns and stages of development. I lost track frankly. Claude Cowork just parsed through and consolidated 3 years of work into ONE master document

It’s Monday. We all got our taste of glitz and glam last night. Now back to work. Harrison Ford said all that was needed to say about this thing we all do. In 6 months no one will care about who won what. What matters is the people we share the process with, the stories, and the connection it makes.

Off all the high end gadgets and gear and computer set-ups in my office, my favorite item to play with is my Gizmo usb cable ornament. It makes me smile when post life gets rough #tveditor #filmeditor

I guess I need an obligatory #fridaythe13th post so I’m getting it out of the way early. Here’s me an my son - his name is Jason. After the Greek hero, not the ruthless killer. And being a dad and an editor/filmmaker means he gets to have a totally awesome childhood

Ok. First post. Here we go. [cue the Wonder Years theme. Kevin, on your mark, ACTION!] So I guess you’re wondering how I ended up here….

I come in peace.
