Well, we're wrapping up #Spectember - how did everyone do? Any progress is good progress. Hope you are all proud of what you've created over the last 30 days! #scriptsky #filmsky

First responses are coming in from trusted readers on my latest script, WELCOME TO LAZARUS (Feature | Crime-Thriller). Always so thrilling to have people respond to what you've put on the page. Looking forward to finding the right investors/partners to bring it to life. #filmsky #scriptsky

Alternate and commissioned movie posters are a passion of mine, and this one of THE SHINING is a stunning example of why. #filmsky #scriptsky

Amazing. Going to see again tomorrow!

It's time! #filmsky #scriptsky

UNEXPECTED LIFE LESSONS FROM THE MOVIES "You gonna do somethin' or just stand there and bleed?” - Tombstone (1993) Lesson #14: When something is draining your time, energy, or dignity, standing still is a only makes it worse. Take action. #scriptsky #filmsky

It has been a long week...so kicking off the weekend by relaxing next to the water. It never ceases to amaze me, how beautiful my home town is.

Listening to a podcast about THE PRESTIGE, and just had the epiphany that each magician ends up dying in the same fashion their wife does earlier in the film. Sarah hangs herself > Borden is hung Julia drowns > Angier drowns himself (multiple times)

UNEXPECTED LIFE LESSONS FROM THE MOVIES “Drop the "The." Just "Facebook." It's cleaner.” - The Social Network (2010) Lesson #13: Boil things down to their core essence. The more succinct your idea, the easier it can be understood and shared. #scriptsky #filmsky

Good luck to everyone who submitted!!

Looks like we're in the clear from something urgent...thank you to everyone who shared their positive energy and well wishes. It truly did mean a lot.

Two must haves coming from @criterion.bsky.social in December! Can't wait! #filmsky #scriptsky

Dealing with an unexpected health issue. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty anxious/scared right now. Good thoughts and vibes are appreciated.

That voice telling you 'I can't make it because I'm not in LA'? It's a liar. What actually matters is the quality of your work and the authenticity of your connections. The path might look different, but the destination is absolutely possible. #scriptsky

Very cool news yesterday — I've been accepted to @theiwclist.bsky.social. Honored to join such a talented group of creatives, and looking forward to that's next! #scriptsky #filmsky

Can someone familiar w/ AFF confirm for me (I don't have any exp. w/ the contest side of the festival)... Is it right that...If you haven't gotten the "Congrats on the QFs, but aren't going any further" email...you could either 1) not even made the QFs, or 2) are moving past the QF? #scriptsky

From a few posts I've seen, it looks like we're officially into "Waiting Anxiously for AFF emails" Season. Best of luck to all who entered. Take deep breaths and lean into the chaos! #scriptsky #filmsky

And that's a wrap on the latest spec! Tie to shoot it off to trusted Alpha readers and see how we can polish it even further. This one feels special - can't wait to get it out to the world at large. #scriptsky #filmsky

Sometimes, you have a call that completely invigorates you - emotionally and creatively - and reminds you why you love this crazy, collaborative industry. I was lucky enough to have one of those calls today. #scriptsky #filmsky

Monday kicks off this year's #Spectember! The goal? Motivate yourself (and others) to finish a screenplay by the end of the month. Do you have a project all picked out? I do! #scriptsky #filmsky

UNEXPECTED LIFE LESSONS FROM THE MOVIES “Just because you can’t prove it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.” - Zodiac (2007) Lesson #11: Waiting until you have irrefutable evidence before you act or believe in anything (including yourself) can mean missing your window for greatness. #filmsky #scriptsky

Tonight, I discovered the Berries and Cream Little Lad.

You might be overcharging when your screenwriting software sales pitch is that writers can pay in 4 easy installments...

When it comes to The Industry, "Making it" and "Making it exactly how you envisioned making it when you first started out." are often two very different things. Be flexible. Enjoy your wins. Be proud of your journey. Keep pushing. #scriptsky #filmsky

Walt Disney's quote of "We don't make movies to make money. We make money to make more movies" would get him fired from his own company today. Like, Jerry Maguire's manifesto-level fired. #itwasjustamissionstatement

Companies in 2025: - This position is in office. NOT REMOTE. - The job description is for four diff. jobs rolled into one. - The pay is half what it should be for ONE of those jobs & doesn't provide a livable wage for the city in which it is based. - "Why can't we fill this role?"

There are red flags, and there are RED FLAGS. Please don't be so desperate to break into the industry that you overlook obvious predatory behavior.

UNEXPECTED LIFE LESSONS FROM THE MOVIES “Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!” - GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) Lesson #10: Don't downplay your worth. Even if you feel like you aren't ready, move forward and step through the doors that life opens for you. #filmsky #scriptsky

Can. Not. Wait. From @criterion.bsky.social in November! #filmsky

Welcome to The Matrix.

And one final photo of the marquis at night after the film...

The Vista...

In line now...pretty jazzed! #filmsky #scriptsky

Who wants to go in with me on a lighthouse? $450k - furnished - self-generating electricity. Let's buy it and make a movie!

As someone who generally hates every photo of themselves...this one's not bad.

I'm all for exploring every avenue available to you...you never know what might work. But, do your research, and be strategic. Hope is not a strategy.

Look what I saw in the lobby of the TCL @mereberg.bsky.social!

Finland farmers spray the antlers of their deer with reflective paint in order to reduce road accidents. #filmsky #scriptsky #nature #Finland

Questions for the #scriptsky community: 1) How long would it take you to go from concept to a polished draft ready to go out - if writing was your FT job? 2) How much $ would you need to take that long off work (estimates are fine)

🗣️ A TESTIMONIAL FROM THE WRITER: When I first joined ISA, I was writing in isolation with no industry connections. The ISA team is filled with smart, thoughtful and knowledgeable industry pros who are incredibly helpful and supportive.  #scriptsky

Not sure why that other version of the artwork is so low-res, but here's a better one!

@andyblack.bsky.social Great to meet ya - love a lot of the shows you've worked on - and appreciate your affection for luchadores and The Goonies!

Happiest of Birthday wishes to @rorstad.bsky.social!

There's still a lot of year left, but here's my updated Top 10 list for 2025 (as of Aug 9.)

Anyone have the scripts for EDDINGTON and/or WEAPONS? #scriptsky #filmsky
