Writer / producer / procrasturbator
pinned post!
I've worked as a screenwriter, a producer, and a TV exec, and some of the most common friction points between those roles come from simple miscommunication. I'm gonna pin this and add to it as I go. Hopefully it'll be helpful!

If a drama/comedy is called a dramedy, would a drama/comedy set in the desert be called a dromedary?

Politicians are feckless and corrupt for the same reason that movies are trite and shallow -- because that's what the consumer rewards.

At film markets, trying to sell a movie by saying it's a good movie is a losing strategy. You sell a movie by showing it's a sellable movie.

I have chosen a new career path. I’m going to become the kind of mercenary who gets hired to protect the mansionbunker of a billionaire. Because as soon as money doesn’t matter anymore, I and my mercenary friends will own a mansionbunker.
