“Tulip Skirt” - First Draft I made so many mistakes on this skirt, I wondered if I should even post it. But then I realized that every mistake I make in my art practice better prepares me for the next thing that’ll go wrong in my life. #fashionsky #artsky #photographysky

I’m excited that my film –Franciscan Contradictions– is an official selection for the San Diego Latino Film Festival – it will screen at the Raíces short film program at the Digital Gym Cinema on Saturday, March 22nd.

Sheeesh this is so detailed!! It’s also cool seeing how your practice helps you grow as an individual, learning things that go beyond just the practice itself. It’s very cyclic, you make art to illustrate metaphors on life, and in return making art brings you metaphors to apply to your life ❤️

“3 Tier Skirt” First Draft I learned so many lessons from this skirt. I learned Patience. I learned how to repair something. And I learned how to accept things for what they are without having to compromise yourself. This skirt has changed my approach to art. #fashionsky #photographysky #artsky

So happy for FLOW winning the Oscar, but also sad Wild Robot didn’t win anything 😢 These last two years the animation category has just been SO STACKED

Do you run a book club? Are you a bookseller? Book scout? Would you like a digital galley of my debut novel THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER, out May 13 via PRH and called "smart, fearless, romantic, and so very alive" by Casey McQuiston? HIT ME UP.

My “thoughts in my head” to “words on the page” pipeline moves slower than LA traffic during rush hour I swear 🫠 #scriptsky

Idk about anyone else, but I loooove romance. I love planning creative surprises that’ll make my gf all mushy and I love the anticipation of her smile. And selfishly too, I love that she just doesn’t know what’s about to hit her haha. 🤣 ❤️❤️

Capitalist innovation is not so innovative

Whenever I visit @friscojumpman.bsky.social I get pushed to think of and tackle many complex concepts and engage with very interesting perspectives that I’ve never considered before. We also spend hours and hours being the most unserious people too Guess that’s the Gemini in us ♊️😂

So many things are pulling me away from you Gray, but I promise you’re always on my mind

Praying for all the people in the plane crash last night and their loved ones. It’s tragic news

I will produce a short film this year! Speaking it into existence 🗣️

“Mama Sang’s Quilt” I come from Black, Southern Textile Artists. Preservation of culture and tradition is a form of resistance. A practice birthed out of necessity now serves as a reminder that the history they’re trying to erase isn’t actually that far away #blackartsky #blacksky #photographysky

I need to start baking in blueski scrolling into my morning planning cus in a blink it’ll be 30 mins and now I’m running late 😅

There’s too many good ones, but this one from #fionnaandcake has been stuck in my head since I saw it🥺💔💔 #cartoonsky

Writing on the weekend: life is so great. Type type type, la la la, this is so fun and relaxing 😄 During the week: Ok, 37 minutes until work starts. Let’s polish two more scenes. Oh no, my boss already emailing me. Why is he emailing me? Ok I still have 36 mins. What am I doing again? 😵‍💫 #scriptsky

Yea sex is cool but have you ever lived in a non-fascist, non-tech oligarch society?

Instead of a little angel and little devil above my shoulders, I think it’s one that wants to joke around, and another that wants to philosophize, and both make good arguments tbh

POST YOUR FAVORITE DOCTOR WHO. WRONG ANSWERS ONLY.

I’m still struggling to grapple with a studio like A24 using AI in The Brutalist. They’ve always been a studio that I admired so much, creating some of my favorite artistic films. But if even they used AI, what does that mean for the future of film? #filmsky

Join The Spring School for our first ever INTRO TO SCREENWRITING class! This is for everyone who wants to try their hand at screenwriting but is feeling a little shaky about their grasp of the fundamentals! Find more info at iamspringstudios.com/shop

The rewriting process is scary cus you’re no longer in the “it’s ok if it’s garbage they call it a vomit pass for a reason” phase 😬😨 #scriptsky #writingcommunity

Art as a form of resistance, education and solidarity is becoming more and more important

My friend @friscojumpman.bsky.social told me about Hegel’s Dialectic and the collective conscious. I then recalled John August’s description of story also centering this. Now I’m framing my thinking that shifting the collective conscious is like transforming a character (or millions of them).

We will continue to recognize people as they wish to be recognized and continue to affirm their right to the existence that validates their personhood. I will accept nothing less.

Come for the MEDICINE stay for the MELANCHOLY

Now that I study screenwriting so much, it’s funny watching films cus tell me why I was in the movie theater watching “One of them Days” (amazing btw) and whispered to my gf “now we’re at the Dark Night of the Soul” 😭😭 #scriptsky

Pleated Skirt with Drapes, First Draft. Another beautiful technique that I’m excited to incorporate elsewhere in my work 🧡 #fashionsky #artsky #photographysky

Tonight’s the night 💪🏼🔥 Ready for my Roses to blossom 🌹🏀

A good time to remind people: I am available for staffing! I’m at producer level and my experience frankly has INCREDIBLE RANGE across drama, comedy, journalism, novels, different tones and all kinds of characters. I’ve done half hours and hours. A variety of genres. Staff me!

In honor of XO Kitty Season 2 coming out today (which @alannabennett.bsky.social was a writer and producer for!!) I feel like it’s a perfect time to remind everyone that Peter Kavinsky is actually my (much better looking) doppelgänger He copied the school I went to and everything!!

I gotta remind myself that a slow grind isn’t a bad grind. But it’s gotta be an everyday one, no matter how big/small #scriptsky #writingsky #writingcommunity #5AMwritersclub

Just a discombobulated nepo baby soul-searching in a plastic world. ✨ I am so thrilled to share the cover AND A SLIVER OF THE FIRST CHAPTER of my debut novel THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER! www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainmen...

Alanna is an amazing writer, instructor, and person, and the community she cultivates in these courses are so inclusive, warm, and just amazing. Highly recommend becoming part of The Spring School community and taking a course!! ❤️❤️ #scriptsky

If you have a script that's a good fit for this, it's FREE to submit, and a timely issue that needs to be explored in film. #Scriptsky filmfreeway.com/AFFAPP

I think the best part for me so far of #scriptsky is that just from following the hashtag, I’ve had the pleasure of reading 3 amazing scripts from writers in the community. And I can’t wait to read more in the future 🙏🏼 #writingsky #writingcommunity

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

Honored to announce I’m a 2025 NEA Fellow! Out of 2000+ applications received, I’m overwhelmingly humbled that my work would be recognized in this way. It’s important to me that I aim for clarity in my work, and I’m grateful for this support to help me keep reaching folks.

Hey fellow #SouthDakota moots, today is a good day to reach out to your legislators and tell them we don't want the governor to cut our library budget. As a mom with a child just learning to read, these cuts are especially devastating 💔 Don't be silent! www.sdlibraryassociation.org/page/Advocacy

Whether you have representation or not, the next actions for your screenwriting remain the same. - Write. - Expand your relationships. - Develop projects. Nothing much changes there day-to-day. Not having reps is not worth the stressing about. When you're ready, it tends to come. #scriptsky

Something 📚 cover-shaped is dropping in two days…

These people, no matter what reason they’re incarcerated, should be treated as heroes for what they’re doing now, not forever branded as criminals for what they did in the past.

this is a spreadsheet with the GoFund Me’s of several displaced Black families in Altadena:

My first name is Chase and my middle name is Gray. I want to always try to see and understand the nuance of situations and life itself, so I want to “see the gray area” hence “C. Gray” 😉 (pls don’t judge me I know I’m corny 😭)

Gray is basically me entering college. BIG overthinker, inexperienced mess (esp. w/ girls lol), but at his core a romantic that tries his best to do good. Difference is, while he says no, I say yes. We’d be homies for sure, but if we get in the wrong headspace, there’s no saving us 😭😂 #BluePitHype

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
