#specscriptshoutout to @staceycrussell.bsky.social ‘s moving portrait of a pair of very different siblings trying to find out how they fit in the world and with each other, The Open Air. A terrific first feature from a super talented writer.

#specscriptshoutout to @elizabethditty.com ‘s swashbuckling pilot Hellcats of The Caribbean, based on real life lady pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Reade. It’s everything you’d want from show based on women who, when they were caught by the brits, kept shooting even after the male crew surrendered

Another #SpecScriptShoutOut: Writing time loop movies is no easy task (I oughta know) but @hewizard.bsky.social tackles the challenge with gusto in his sci fi action feature ZOETROPE. A page turner from beginning to end of the world

#SpecScriptShoutOut #Scriptsky Check out @screenwritermac.bsky.social’s dramedy pilot— “The Pineapple Chronicles” A married couple that’s lost their spark decides to see if swinging can revitalize their relationship, leading to hilarious and unforeseen consequences.

So, it's #SpecScriptShoutout day and I just finished @leahfromsd.bsky.social's rollicking western adventure PEARL SNAPS. This feature has compelling, strong women protagonists, guns, greed, gold, and girls. Plus poker, saloons, cats, and carnies. Such a fun ride. #Scriptsky #Filmsky

#SpecScriptShoutout to @leahfromsd.bsky.social for her script Insatious, a bloody, racy, and pleasurable read. Seriously, most of the time I find people's screenplays to be a chore, but I flew through this script like none other. Smoothly propulsive. Thanks also to Leah for her help with my latest!

#SpecScriptShoutout #ScriptSky IMPACT ZONE -TV pilot By @shawncorridan.bsky.social A fun, gritty, action filled pilot. Think Point Break/ Hawaii Five-0/Big Wednesday.

#SpecScriptShoutOut For Believer, a pilot by @tay-nanea.bsky.social Janese Taylor. A sharply written sci fi horror about alien abduction that gives you the creeps. Great characters, a protagonist that is warm, believable, someone you root for. The final scene will chill you to the bone

#SpecScriptShoutOut The Rake by @tay-nanea.bsky.social is a creepy creature feature that chills you to the bone from the first expertly crafted image to the last. Written to raise the hair on the back of your neck, it keeps you turning page after page to it’s satisfying end.

#SpecScriptShoutOut Day He Kills at Night by @tommooreiii.bsky.social A horror about social standing in a forgotten neighbourhood with roots in myth and lore, it will chill you to the bone and open your eyes to things you never expected. Beautifully written and rich in subtext.

With all the chaos in Washington today, not sure I'll be able to focus on #SpecScriptShoutout Day, unless I simply freshen up my #GreyList recommendations.

It's #SpecScriptShoutout Day so I'm doing a quick thread of some of my most recent reads 😊 #Scriptsky #Filmsky 👇

Spent the morning diving into another masterful script by @scotterybarn.bsky.social "our lady queen of los angeles" is one the most inventive stories about the way we pursue our dreams and the obstacles reality puts in that path. Scott is undoubtedly one of a kind. #Scriptsky #SpecScriptShoutout

If you haven't read one of @svenanarki.bsky.social 's scripts yet, do yourself a favor! I just finished MINISTER SPEER, my second reading of his works, and was swept away. Congrats on these well-deserved laurels, Sven! #scriptsky #specscriptshoutout

Recently read Ryan Luong's THE TAM SHOW. It's a delight - snappy and fast-moving, with a great twist and a riveting 'what's she going to do next?' character in the awkward and determined lead Tam. #scriptsky #specscriptshoutout writers.coverfly.com/projects/vie...

#SpecScriptShoutOut to @titleix.bsky.social for her inspirational true story WRESTLE LIKE A GIRL. A great reminder that when life knocks you down, you pick yourself back up off the mat and keep fighting! Thanks for sharing!

#SpecScriptShoutOut for @allenyorkwu.bsky.social's delightful PRINCESS ROYALE 👑 Polite society gets its frilly-gloved hands a little bloody with this all-out battle for the throne between a pack of ambitious princesses. The pilot left me wishing I had an entire season to binge! #Scriptsky

THE LAST LAUGH by @leahfromsd.bsky.social is a thrilling sci-fi experience that delves into some incredibly timely issues, with villains who feel cartoonishly evil until you realize they’re drawn from real life… Loved getting to read Leah’s work! #SpecScriptShoutout #ScriptSky

THE SWEETEST FARM is a cute, warm, authentic romance feature set in small-town Michigan. @kathrynorwigauthor.bsky.social is a master of her craft, and I can't wait to see this one get some heat! #SpecScriptShoutOut #ScriptSky

#specscriptshoutout PEARL SNAPS by @leahfromsd.bsky.social was such a wild good time. Picture a lesbian western starring a grown up Pippi Longstocking type. You can never go wrong with Leah's work.

I've always marveled at @mikeboaks.bsky.social's logline for SHACKLED as it felt ripe for production. I've read it -- I can confirm it rules! A desert chain-gang of killers and thieves must work together to survive when one of the shackled prisoners turns zombie. #SpecScriptShoutOut 🧟

#SpecScriptShoutout to @leahfromsd.bsky.social for her pilot MILDEN MISFITS. A fun and funny roller derby tale, that slams into you like hell on wheels. Written with wit and heart by Leah, channeling her derby days. This has hit written all over it!

#SpecScriptShoutout #ScriptSky Shinigami - by @timwestland - a horror adventure worthy of a 1940’s movie serial, like Indiana Jones but terrifying. Beautiful prose paint & interesting characters paint pictures not soon forgotten. A story that evokes King, Hitchcock, Spielberg and Lynch.

#SpecScriptShoutOut for @jennifersgrand feature thriller DEEP AND DARK where full, rich characters wrestle with their humanity through a winter's night in a remote cabin occupied by deception and violence, rushing through its twists and turns masterfully. #scriptsky

A fresh take on the The Princess Bride. DREAD PIRATES by @prex4.bsky.social is a brilliant addition to that world. Filled with characters you know and love while adding new characters that feel like they belong. An entertaining story that bursts at the seams with action & humor. #SpecScriptShoutout

#SpecScriptShoutOut I read The Pioneer, a dramedy by @cameroni101.bsky.social about a man's singular obsession with a radical theory that disrupts his whole life. It was an interesting read with an unexpected ending.

#SpecScriptShoutOut I just finished Love In The Time Of Palm Trees by @juliacgriffin.bsky.social and I really enjoyed it. It's a horror story with a lot of heart. It's very evocative without a dull moment and I'd love to watch it one day.

#SpecScriptShoutOut I started my year's reading with Admitting Love by @farook112.bsky.social. It was a great script to start with - it's a romcom and Farook showed that he's got real talent when it comes to writing romance. I'm looking forward to reading more of his work.

#SpecScriptShoutout VOLKSFREI, a Hans Gruber origin story by @rudiomeara.bsky.social, is the Die Hard prequel we didn't know we needed! Featuring a young Hans, John McClane, and tons of entertaining call backs, the script is a rip-roaring homage to the original. #scriptsky #stuntlist

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS takes a twisted look at the gun crisis in America. @ingetal.bsky.social uses humor and a reluctant hero to peel back the layers and just when you think you know what happens next, he pulls the proverbial rug out from under you. This is a fun read. #SpecScriptShoutout

#SpecScriptShoutOut for DREAD PIRATES (a sequel to PRINCESS BRIDE) by @prex4.bsky.social. Peter successfully captures the spirit of & pays respect to the original while bringing his own voice & new, distinct and lovable characters into the fray. A fitting tribute to a beloved classic.

#SpecScriptShoutout #ScriptSky Had the opportunity to read the newest draft of THE UNLIKELIEST OF HEROES from @pezscreenwriting.bsky.social. A big loud ridiculous silly magical fairytale that screams to be an animated feature. Reminds me of THE WIZARD OF OZ if told in the Fairly Odd Parents world.

#SpecScriptShoutout #ScriptSky Just finished @leahfromsd.bsky.social newest insane feature - THE LAST LAUGH. If revenge is a dish best served cold, this is better; volcano hot. With the savagery of Black Mirror, the biting social commentary of The Twilight Zone, it’ll knock your socks off

A great thread of #SpecScriptShoutOut scripts. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#SpecScriptShoutOut ESSENTIAL MANNERS FOR MODERN CANNIBALS by @hamrobotham.bsky.social An unsuspecting couple are about to be presented a fiendish feast, but their marital squabbles threaten to destroy a perfectly plotted evening of sadistic thrills unless their hosts mind their manners.

#SpecScriptShoutOut #ScriptSky To @prex4.bsky.social for his wonderful spec DREAD PIRATES, a fitting sequel to The Princess Bride. Some old favourites, some new favourites, witty, charming, beautifully written as only Peter can, and plenty of fun to go around.

#SpecScriptShoutout for @leahfromsd.bsky.social's nail-biting body horror Germination! It's a (terrifying) story that the world needs now and Leah's unique voice just oozes through every bit of this quick read. #Scriptsky

#SpecScriptShoutout for @kbd.ink's horror feature NECROPLEPSY. A unique twist on the zombie movie, loved the quick pacing and humor peppered throughout! A bloody fun read 😈

#SpecScriptShoutOut for @kevinkoljack.bsky.social pilot OOPSIES POOPSIES. Kevin takes us backstage of the massively popular titular children's puppet show for a murder mystery. What better place for sex, drugs, biting wit, and everyone with a grudge. Laugh out loud hilarious! #scriptsky

#SpecScriptShoutOut to @realponyhill.bsky.social for his Christmas horror short, "Last Christmas" What a fun read, and something he TOTALLY needs to make, pronto! Way to go, Steven... thanks for letting me read it. #scriptsky

#SpecScriptShoutOut to @minorfracas.bsky.social ALPHA LOBO. Jeremiah goes non-stop action, like a werewolf infested Atomic Blonde, with this smart, brutal saga of mother's love. Masterful action writing. Great bad guys. René's french accent, so adorable. This will savage the box office. #scriptsky
