So fun to see at long last!

Got to see the latest from @jelenawoehr.bsky.social and @cameowood.com tonight at LA Shorts Fest. A standout in a strong block. Does not hurt that it stars Wallace Shawn and CCH Pounder. Congrats!!

excellent indie comic showcase!

Excellent

Come on out and hang!

Starting with Alumni Drop-in table reads for @pagecraft.bsky.social this morning. Got my coffee. Got a gritty crime drama from Cape Town and a fanciful satire about the Fates on deck. #scriptsky

This morning I zoomed with a novelist friend in Palermo. Walked her through screenplay structure as she adapts her memoir to script. I love watching lightbulbs go off as writers in different disciplines grasp the differences of #screenwriting She's got work ahead but I can't wait to see! #scriptsky

What she said!

File under "other things Oscar got wrong." This song is epic, beautiful, and absolutely key to the plot - I'm always sobbing by the time we get here in the story. Absolutely deserved the Academy Award.

Obviously they threw a parade to welcome the @pagecraft.bsky.social writers… #writeinitaly

Uphill but worth it. Finished a draft of new drama feature today. Writing until the @pagecraft.bsky.social retreat cohort gets here on the 25. Still 2 spots open if you’re feeling inspired. #scriptsky #writeinitaly

Happy Eurovision to all who celebrate

Crazy clouds distracting me from writing. Darn this place. #writeinitaly #pagecraft #scriptsky

Ash and the crew serve up so much radness. Proud to be an alum and excited to check out the Ballers List since sports movies are not my writing genre: #scriptsky

Morning walk. Client script feedback today. And probably gelato. #writeinitaly #pagecraftwriting #scriptsky

Do we need SO much dialog? A look at why movies like Flow, Wall-e, and the first 10 min of UP! work so well:

Angelino writers! Come hang IRL with me and @svenanarki.bsky.social this wednesday:

Not a bad start to the week:

Guest lectured this week for Eastern New Mexico U. Question from a writer on the spectrum opened up a whole new POV: how do you write subtext when you don't understand it? Working up a new lecture on this fascinating craft dilemma. #scriptsky #neuroatypical
