This is going to be an excellent thing for up and coming writers. Was honored to be asked to consult on it a bit. AND it's actually free. AND it's built by an actual screenwriter. Pretty cool. #scriptsky #writingcommunity #screenwriting

If you want some super practical and incredibly well-articulated screenwriting advice, look no further. Ian Shorr uses the insane opening from The Last Boy Scout as a launch point and just takes it from there. youtu.be/h56edbtPfEw #scriptsky #screenwriting #filmmaking #writingcommunity

2026 AFF Conference Badges are $150 off today... just got mine! Stoked to go again after missing out this year.

Watch Jake Thornton school us on ALIENS -- and specifically, a scene that influenced the way he writes today. This was such a cool conversation. Full video comes out on Sunday! www.youtube.com/@ngdwrites #screenwriting #hollywood #scriptsky #MovieAnalysis #FilmTheory #WritingCommunity

Coming up! www.youtube.com/@ngdwrites Had a great chat with @jakethornton and R.E. Hall about one of the most important scenes in ALIENS, and how that influenced Jake's career. #screenwriting #writingcommunity #hollywood #filmmaking #film #scriptsky

TONIGHT! This one's got some... twists. 😂 Here's the whole playlist if you feel like doing a little catching up on screenwriting geekery this Sunday: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

First time for everything...

Coming up!! We've filmed through episode 3 now, but there's a lot more in store. We have guests lined up who are showrunners, Oscar nominees, Waldo Award winners, and someone who wrote a movie/script that I STUDIED back when I was learning how to do this stuff. And... we're still accepting pages!

Two new Spot the Pros being filmed today. This is gonna be fun.

Wednesday!

New screenwriting and filmmaking series coming in the next few weeks. Will begin releasing once I've recorded and edited the first few. Really excited about this one. Keep an eye out! www.youtube.com/@ngdwrites

If you register for the VALENTINE CRUSH screening by the end of today, you could win this gorgeous double vinyl soundtrack from the movie! 😍 #scriptsky #filmsky (Bear with me, this is pre-coffee Leah 🥱) More info and the link to register located in the post below 👇

I've had the opportunity to test this site out, try to break it, and offer some feedback. I can attest it really is a FREE platform where writers can exchange feedback and connect with each other. It's also built by an actual writer -- and a good one! Super cool thing for the community. #scriptsky

FYI - we're going through holiday pages NOW, since we're going to be filming this episode at the end of October. So if you were planning to submit a page, now's the time! (Still plenty of time to get non-holiday pages in) www.nathangrahamdavis.com/spotthepro #scriptsky #screenwriting

One of the pro writers for this upcoming Spot the Pro emailed me and made a really cool offer: They said that if an aspiring writer beat their page, they'd read their first 10 pages. I thought that was such a cool display of humility, confidence, and just a community-minded approach to all this...

SWEET TOOTH / THE MIST screenwriters Daniel Stewart and Noah Griffith joined us on the season 2 premiere of Spot the Pro! If you want to join us in the live-chat when it drops on October 22nd @ 6:30 PST, head on over to this link and click "Notify Me." youtu.be/tqIb-fxzsAU Thanks!

The first round of Spot the Pro pages have been picked and we will be filming next week! If you were selected, you will have already received an email. We have several episodes ahead of this one, so if you'd like to be part of Season 2, submit your pages here: www.nathangrahamdavis.com/spotthepro

So a client of Call Sheet Media's just emailed me to let me know they're sending their PAID clients to my FREE youtube course. To be clear, there is NO affiliation and I do NOT endorse them. I also released a recent video about a company **exactly** like theirs... youtu.be/b2vW2-YTUic

Need an aspiring, unrepped writer for a new youtube experiment, which I think will be pretty special. Unlike Spot the Pro, skill-level is less important here, but you should have written at least two scripts (features or pilots), be comfortable on camera, and available to film... (continued)

I sold my screenplay Æther as an "Audio Flick" and it's now out on every major audio platform, which is super exciting! Figured I'd talk about the deal, how I adapted it to this format, and why I think this can be a great opportunity for screenwriters. Full video here: youtu.be/iEy3kKReGkg

For anyone who's been wondering about a second season of Spot the Pro... www.reddit.com/r/Screenwrit...

For First Page Friday, here's a comparison of the first page of the screenplay for Æther and the first page of the "audio flick" version. As you can see... not a whole lot of work to update it!

My screenplay ÆTHER was adapted into an "audio flick" and is now available on Spotify! It'll be hitting more platforms over the next week. Question for you all... Would you be interested in a video on this format? What questions would you like me to cover? open.spotify.com/show/0u1rSMC...

So I might've gone way the fuck off outline

Fun interview w/ my guys Dylan Sprouse & Mason Gooding. Under Fire hits Friday! Thanks @usweeklymag.bsky.social www.usmagazine.com/entertainmen...

Read an aspiring writer's first 10 the other day. Within 3 lines, I knew I was reading someone with rare ability. The pages stayed great, so I asked what his deal was, and... he has a super legit director attached. Art is subjective, but also... objectively great writing is a thing. It's THE thing.

there are less qualified persons out there charging a greater quantity for lesser quality so folks should take advantage of this.

Many thanks to @nofilmschool.com.web.brid.gy for this article! nofilmschool.com/free-15-week...

By the way -- if you HAVEN'T read it, I have a few drafts of this on my website, along with a timeline that covers the various changes. This includes producer notes on earlier drafts and also the audio version, which has slightly different formatting. www.nathangrahamdavis.com/screenplay-drafts

Coming soon to ALL MAJOR AUDIO PLATFORMS w/ full score, sound design, and an incredible cast and narrator: ÆTHER - The Audio Flick. I'm so excited about this. It's about 95% faithful to the screenplay, if you've read it. Quite a thing as a screenwriter to hear every word of yours, "on screen."

This was a big project. I've picked away at it since early last fall in order to not interfere with my writing. Feels good to have it finished and I hope it helps some writers! www.reddit.com/r/Screenwrit...

Big shout out to @ngdwrites.bsky.social for this thorough, expert, and FREE screenwriting course. Especially awesome for new writers, but there’s a lot to learn for all levels. Great dude giving back. #scriptsky #filmsky

Was researching managers and game across Spot the Pro series by @ngdwrites.bsky.social Worth a view. youtu.be/qEbDLIgWeAc?...

Fun update with ÆTHER, which you might remember from back in 2020-2021, when I documented the writing of that script in my first youtube series, Re-Entry. There's momentum on the film side, but I also sold the audio rights in December and...

If you're from southern or western New England and wondering how you can write screenplays while thousands of miles from Hollywood, I'll be joining two other professional writers on a panel this coming Saturday at Easthampton Film Festival. Should be a lot of fun! www.artshubwma.org/event/panel-...

Just unearthed this relic from 2010. If this were twitter, a couple dozen people would recognize it. It's from an old, private facebook group of like 60-80 writers. And of those who really stuck with it? Most have had actual professional success. Tenacity. Perseverance. They count for a lot!

Because sometimes you'd rather work than do your hair. www.delusionalcreatives.com

Love the work and ignore the odds in comfy, premium cotton. www.delusionalcreatives.com

I don't believe that every script needs an outline but I do believe every screenwriter needs to know how to write one. Anyway, "class" six of the free youtube course thing, which means in just nine weeks I'll be done clogging your timelines with these drops. youtu.be/ghkJvevZrPM

Aspiring screenwriters: Are you watching @ngdwrites.bsky.social’s free YouTube educational series about screenwriting? I recommend it. #scriptsky youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Took an old class I did and made it WAY better. If you want to write a screenplay, this 15-week course will get you to that first draft -- and give you a serious jumpstart on both the craft and the business. It's 100% on YouTube, which means you don't have to buy a thing. youtu.be/AmeC-u-1PGo

We were #1 in the US and #3 in the world last week... despite being in only 7 countries. Most of the top 10 releases last week were in over 90. Truly unreal! Thanks for the support, everyone. Been a wild ride and a great learning experience.

What. Someone's hacked my shit and is fucking with me.

Mindblowing is not a strong enough word.

Been trying very hard to limit my time on social media these last few months (it's not you, it's me), but I just want to say I appreciate the hell out of you all. Thanks for the support. Pretty exciting day!

Tomorrow's the day! 11 years from 1st draft to production. 14 years to this release. This script has had a JOURNEY. Grateful that I got to see it come to life in some form, and for all the fun and cool people along the way. Lots of script details here: www.nathangrahamdavis.com/screenplay-d...

Promo's up on Netflix! Definitely a highlight to see my kids all excited about it. If you think you'll be checking it out, it supposedly helps the algorithm if you click on that reminder... www.netflix.com/title/81785091

Hey, y'all! Our short comedy US + ONE: A LOVE STORY, is available on YouTube! It's silly and stupid and we hope you like it! "Things get weird for a lonely single when he unknowingly swipes right on a married couple's attempt to spice up their shaky relationship." youtu.be/qBR9RnZ_XC4?...
