Excited to be flying to Brooklyn to show BitterSweet tomorrow Friday 12/12. Tickets here www.eventbrite.com/e/bitterswee...

Netflix and Paramount are like Daddy and Mommy fighting for custody of the kids. Splitting up Warner brothers in different homes on different coasts, the biggest point of contention is who gets Batman on the weekends?

I had a great time talking to legend Chris Gore about my film BitterSweet 2x nominated for Best Indie Comedy and Best Indie Romance @FilmThreat @AwardThis! indie filmmaking, and of course Major Payne. youtu.be/QN8XMVaQAlc

Pluribus only makes sense once you understand it's based on the 2023 WGA/SAG strikes when the notorious Carol Lombardini fought against the demands of basic human decency and living wages for the union hive mind. The twist here is she's actually the hero.

I worked with Matthew Lilliard on a film called Dish Dogs. He was a great guy and a natural actor. I'm pretty sure Tarantino's disparaging remarks just started a whole new wave of Lilliard's career...

3I/ Atlas is not just a comet, it is a film festival projecting my movie BitterSweet all over the unknown regions of deep space. On Decemeber 12 it will be flying by Brooklyn. I will be there for the show. Come meet and watch and enjoy some sweet icy comet tail. www.eventbrite.com/e/bitterswee...

AFM 25 was well worth the admission fee. I didn't take many videos because I was focused on working & schmoozing but I met some amazing people dedicated to helping Veterans learn the filmmaking process for free. 🔗 to Veterans-TV below 👇

I just got dropped off at the airport and I did the thing. I told the Lyft driver "You too!" after he said "Have a nice flight!" He laughed at me so I kept going "I mean it, I hope your Lyft learns to fly and that you learn to fly it and we all have nice flights on flying cars someday soon"

So honored my film BitterSweet is nominated for best indie comedy by the coolest and only truly indie awards that matter Film Threat's Award This! #ScriptSky #FilmSky #IndieFilmSky

At AFM today I saw Ai all over the place. On the walls. Under the tables. In the pipes. Bartender poured it for a girl on a stool. She saw me wincing, raised her glass and smirked out a slurry "Slop 'em if ya got 'em. "

Happy Veterans Day to all who served and told me how much Major Payne made you laugh even while on duty, during battle, swimming in a river of shit to hell and back. Former cadet, maggot, turd, greenboy, and now Major Alex Stone salutes you all🫡

It was a such a tight race, neck and neck, tusk to tusk, boob v. boob, so I have never been prouder than my glorious win over Dek Yautja and Sydney Sweeny for Best Protagonist at The Innuendo Awards! Click link in bio/reply to watch my winning protagonist at work.

Decided to wake up and finish watching Frankestein and now I am weeping on Monday morning. Beautiful adaptation of Mary Shelley's haunting classic. Wonderful performances of these tragic characters. GDT is an epic filmmaker for all times. Bravo.

Treading these algorithms as they flood with endless Ai while promoting my actual 💯% human hand made movie has not been for the faint of heart. But I've been getting contacted by fans who have seen BitterSweet on Tubi. Personal messages like this are fuel for the fire in my belly

I've just been a derp-derp derping on social media since it's insidious inception. What am I supposed to do with this information? Please don't encourage me to keep posting about Disney derp-derp subscription fees.

Remember, remember the 5th of November.

I think Disney figured out how to get their 200 million budget so they can greenlight Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh's Star Wars X: The Hunt For Ben Solo

I've watched this movie several times now because you notice funny and understated details every time. In a world where screen is more frequently simplified so people can scroll on their phones while they watch, I appreciate a filmmaker who doesn't dumb it down.

Another great review for my movie BitterSweet. Watch it on Tubi and other platforms. Review it on rotten tomatoes, imdb, amd letterboxd. Every inch helps. Link in bio/reply 🔗👇

Great doc, Mr. Scorsese. Love seeing Marty give props to his ex wife Barbara Defina as an incredible producer. They produced our film Lymelife so I know first hand how important they were to each other, still collaborating long after getting divorced. Inspiring in so many ways.

Been loving talking about the real life inspiration for my film BitterSweet on podcasts lately. Did you know the fucking Frenchman was based on my real neighbor? How did his dastardly deeds foil my hero's plans? Find out by watching BitterSweet now streaming on Tubi. Link in reply👇

A funny part of writing fictional characters whom you care about is when you start worrying about how they can pay the bills. Thier fictional bills. In the fictional world you are making for them. Who tf is worried about my non-fictional bills?

Missing Robert Redford. Here's Bob, as we called him on the mountain, talking to Charlie Rose about why he started the Sundance Labs, Festival; and Channel. He brought video clips of us on the mountain workshopping Lymelife with Kieran Culkin and Michael Rooker for the Sundance documentry.

Finally just made my own damn laurel. Honestly, kind of an insane achievement given the state of the world...

13 pages into my newest freshest bestest script. Game on. I am writing.

Flashback Friday: Me & childhood friend Kevin Jordan St3 from 90s Sinbad comedy Houseguest. We made fake MTV News badges, he played the host with a dead mic, I played the cameraman with a broken camera. In 1999 we crashed all the big parties in LA, Vegas, NY, and pictured here, Rome.

I am so excited to see Daniel Day-Lewis return to the big screen acting under the direction of his son Paul Thomas Day-Lewis in One Anemone After Another.

Missing Robert Redford. His guidance at Sundance was my film school, my spirit walk, my prayer circle. He and his chosen group of mentors and advisors completely opened up our creative process and taught us how and when to dig deeper into your story until your story grabs your hand and tells you.

Foundation is like Andor writers doing Jedi mind tricks in the pre-Phantom Menace Old Republic.

Question for cat sky - is there a cat sky? Or is blue sky just full of cats?Anyway we just got kitties for our kids. But I have been severly allergic to them in the past. Does anyone know what this siamese breed measures on the cat allergy index? #CatSky #KittySky #SiameseSky

Trying to keep the plot relatively spoiler-free, but suffice it to say, BitterSweet manages to somehow perfectly manifest that cascade of ND calamity, and how it's perceived by the system, especially the contrast between the people who love them vs. the people who can't see it.

But goddamn if there aren't a ton of parallels. I've had trouble prioritizing finances. I've had unjustified commitment issues driven by feelings of inadequacy. And Sam's fate is one that I've had severe anxiety about for most of my life.

I'm not going to lay bare my whole life dealing with ADHD here, and Sam is obviously at least a little bit AuDHD, which I'm not, so I can't COMPLETELY relate with his inability to cope, but there's enough there that any ND film lover should experience. Even if just for the relatability.

Like I can relate to the existential crises that Sam is experiencing throughout literally the entire film, and the absurdist humor kind of reflects the absurdity of day-to-day life of a ND person. Like, I don't think there's another movie that really grasps the reality of it.

But me, I have pretty severe ADHD, and this film is actually almost a horror film based on the amount of anxiety it induces. I've been in Sam's (BitterSweet director Steven Martini) shoes and in many ways still am. Like, for much of the film, I wondered if he'd been spying on me.

Thank You for buying BitterSweet! 🙏🙌🏻🍸 #FilmSky #IndieFilmSky #NowStreaming #OnAmazonPrimeSky #VODSky

Son's birthday. 4th grade party. We go to class with popsicles and pop corn. I played the piano and sang a rockin version of Happy Birthday. I changed the third verse to "you love going to school, your friends think you're cool, following all the rules" kids all yell "BULLSHIT"

Wife and kids drove out early to the desert so the house is silent null space. I think I'm gonna throw this phone down and open my laptop to write some pages in the void. Almost finished with draft one & something totally new is already brewing. Keep my eyes on the finish line.

As Benjamin Franklin famously said "In this world nothing is certain but death and tariffs."

Spoiler Alert: Deep writing on Foundation Season 3 Episode 4. This line of dialog comes at a profound moment in a great scene incredibly performed by Lee Pace👇

Foundation is classic science fiction, but Hari Seldon is the most boring old wizard/oracle/architect. Don't know how they keep him around. Seems like a great writers room but continually staring at star maps and saying "thats the future" is not exciting at all lol. Yet still I eat it up. All of it.

We are truly living in the new golden age of sci fi tv. Both Alien Earth and Foundtation do not hesitate to make things complicated & convoluted as quickly as possible. Not sure who to empathize with besides the psychic siblings who want to help people. Also Lee Pace doing anything.

Quentin Tarantino could have ushered in a whole new generation of film critics by making his 10th "The Movie Critic" but the setting of 1970s Los Angeles is too flaccid for his famous hard on after Leo and Brad won the great war against Manson. Damned hippies killed our next generation of critics.

40 ICE agents raided my car wash and took away hard working car washers. No warrants, no names. One washer hid in the womens bathroom, another inside a car being washed. Ice tried to open car. Owner locked car with remote and said FU ICE. Sad to see this happening in real time. #IceRaidSky #ICERAIDS
