On a skateboard, everyone speaks the same language. S.K.A.T.E. is a short film about how one game can connect total strangers. 🎥Filmed in DC ✨Inspired by a real moment Now playing on YouTube youtu.be/59wgFUKzB4s

Alice Wong, writer and disability activist, has died. She was an educator and a communicator and a warrior who lit the way. I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her. Rest in peace.

Just heard @sfdirewolf.bsky.social has passed. Had the good fortune to speak to her once a matter, it was just an incredibly enlightening, inspiring and intense meeting. My condolences to everyone she touched in this life.

We’re £266 away from an even £6000 for the next part of the FAIRY DUST budget. Campaign ends in 4 days but I think we can make it! You can pre-order the film and make a donation here: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS

I've started a Substack that's a horror anthology of short stories centered around Bass Reeves🎃Dropping the first story soon. Pretty please subscribe? Totally free: bassreeveshorroranthology.substack.com/subscribe?pa...

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Korea's leading press agency publishes accounts from the Hyundai/LG employees and execs who were brutalized, put in chains and subjected to hours of racist taunts by Trump's secret police... much of which was comically ignorant (ICE agents called them "Rocket Men"). Needs US translation.

Finally have some downtime. It feels good to finally start outlining the new series I'm producing. It's been an amazing week, making great connections, being asked to join the board of an amazing organization, and getting a thumbs up on my first choice for the big project.

Support your union!

In South Carolina, it’s projected that data centers will account for 65 to 70% of the state’s new energy usage. While residents pay more, the companies score reduced rates. Google was given an electricity rate that amounts to less than half of what South Carolina residents pay.

Can't let those pesky minorities get an education. That makes them uppity.

Catching up after being up for over 24 hours. Got a call that was the best news and scariest news at the same time. Who knew that my crazy half-hour pilot would send me down this path.

Love getting early looks at what my friends get made. Congrats to @mizzmarsha.bsky.social and @peawoodruff.bsky.social on YES DEAR! I think we have an early lock-in for the 2025 Schrackfest Film Festival! #filmsky #scriptsky

Sent in my ideas for what will be the biggest project of my life. Crossing fingers that the meeting goes well today. Very, very scary that people trust me with this. Hoping it can be announced soon because I can't wait!🤗

A colleague raved about becoming a soccer fan after going to her first game. Thought it was great and shared about being invited to watch the FIFA games with my friend who'll get to watch all the games from the suites..BIG MISTAKE.😆

My two big releases of 2025: the novel FUTURE'S EDGE and the short fiction collection WHO WILL YOU SAVE? Both available to order now: uk.bookshop.org/lists/my-boo...

I was sitting next to someone when their friend called to share that an A-list actor took an interest in their film that was in Tribeca. I didn't ask what film it was. Yes, it's a major festival, but it was nice to see their work was acknowledged.

So the show idea I pitched, well, it is much more than just a show idea. And thanks to the mutual contact who never told me exactly how connected they were (can't find online). So never boast about contacts. 😂

His status is unknown at this time but he's married to a US citizen and presumably also a citizen. I keep warning people that being legal or being a citizen (birthright or not) will not protect you from ICE if you don't look white.

I pitched a few show ideas, and lo and behold, one is exactly what has been in their heart for YEARS. Meeting tonight to discuss. Dream come true.

Big week! Casting for a feature and hiring for a new business. Also, creating my wish list for the event I'm involved with. I thought I was going to be given a checklist of tasks...oh noooo. I am making it. How did I end up here?

Happy to be a part of this!

Gotta support the NoSleep alumni community! @bonniequinn.bsky.social love the design on this!

The finest collection of horror authors you’ll ever see assembled in one anthology, with stories that will make your heart pound and your blood freeze. Coming soon from @starsandsabers.bsky.social. Find more info on Indiegogo (if you dare!) www.indiegogo.com/projects/of-...

Are you a Producer looking for an IP-based #Horror script? How about: SCROOGE: CITY OF THE DAMNED Scrooge breaks his promise, so a 4th Spirit turns Tiny Tim into a rabid Zombie. Now London will fall unless Scrooge can prove himself worthy of redemption. #FirstPageFriday #FeatureFriday #Scriptsky

FYI: Jason isn't waiting for Friday! The new #FridayThe13th #JasonUniverse short film SWEET REVENGE is now live. Watch right here (and then dig in with writer/director Mike P. Nelson and lead Ally Ioannides). #SweetRevenge

Today I was asked if I would be interested in working on a very significant and high profile event. It took me by surprise because they could ask anybody. They seldom ask for help so I was deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity. I don't know what kool-aid I drank but August has been crazy.

If you're in Long Beach, we're playing at Midsummer Scream Festival tomorrow! A must for every husband to watch! Your wife will thank you for it!😂😇😈

The legendary Fantastic Fest returns to Austin this September, with a stacked 20th anniversary lineup that includes BLACK PHONE 2, THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2, V/H/S/HALLOWEEN, SHELBY OAKS and so much more.

I'm going to be working with some amazing people on an indie feature as a crew member. It will be my first feature! I need to diet so that I can hoard the donuts at the craft table! 😆🍩😁

I wouldn’t tell anyone if I won the lottery, but there would be signs.

Psst. @mizzmarsha.bsky.social We can take Jericho for a spin around Texas. Lost Girls has a scene in Austin and could easily be adapted to never leave the state. Y’all have ranches over there, right?

A reminder that as you are selecting your Friday the 13th viewing, the original intended title for FREAKY was, in fact, FREAKY FRIDAY THE 13TH and appropriately takes place then. It's a modern horror classic and if you've still not seen it, tonight is the perfect night to hoot and laugh your ass off

Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate. May your teenagers be horny and slow.

#ScritpSky Okay screenwriters, for those of you who knew me at the other place and for those who did not. I used to do virtual table reads during the pandemic, but people lost interest after awhile. I’m considering doing them again, IF THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST. *read attached comment

My fellow Cis-Hets, if you’re looking for a substantive way to help for Pride, consider that not all kids get the parents they deserve and many are turned out on the street when the come out. If you can swing it, consider donating to a local teen shelter to give kids a roof and the love they deserve

What’s up, y’all? I’ve been here for a few months, but my debut graphic novel BLOOD CITY ROLLERS is available in hardcover, paperback, and FULL-CAST AUDIO (featuring Vico Ortiz—my favorite non-binary pirate—along with an insanely talented gang of 🏳️‍🌈 artists) NOW.

Trailer time, mother fuckers! Dead is just a word. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0kq...

Marsha and company are on a roll! They’re some bad mamma jammas!
