Always a surreal moment when a new student says they’d already watched FIG before realizing I was their professor. Still humbled that this short—written by yours truly and directed by Ryan Coogler, once on HBO and now on @kanopy.com—continues to find an audience.

Chatting with this group was a blast. Mentorship & sharing my journey to help others is a major priority for me. I’m still building my own career & no where close to my ultimate goal, but I can share advice I wish someone did for me as an undergrad TY @alexgpickering.bsky.social! #postsky #postchat

Matt & I have been fortunate to place six times in the Nicholl Fellowship, reaching the top 50 SFs, which led to meetings and option deals. It's an amazing resource. I don't know how this news will affect it in the long run, but I do worry when limiting factors are put on the submission process.
huge change to The Nicholls...you can no longer submit directly, you must be vetted through a "program partner" ...universities, screenwriting labs & filmmaker programs
