Have you ever read a script that made you cry? (real emotions, not because it was terrible)

What was the script? Who wrote it?

What I miss so much about that other place was the community we had among writers. And I’ll admit I’ve been jaded about taking this place seriously. But I miss what we had. Is it actually starting here or are we just hoping?
Also, wtf is a “reskeet?” 🥴

SAG-AFTRA is still on strike AND it’s going to take a while for many of us to dig ourselves out of this hole so net proceeds of my Strike Merch store: daniellenicki.com/collections/cl…

and my new WGA WON! store: daniellenicki.com/collections/we 

are still donated to The Entertainment Comm. Fund

I made this shirt 5 days after the strike started. I knew we’d survive and I knew we’d get what we needed to ensure the future of our profession. I’m so proud of us and grateful for everyone who stood by us on this long, frustrating journey!❤️

Think of a problem. It’s probably caused by capitalism, racism, or misogyny. Or a fun blend of them all.

Hollywood studios

In your opinion, which movie should have this rating?

Billionaires… Always learning the wrong lessons

It’s occurred to me that people think writing is easy/expendable because they consider writing to be the act of getting words into the page. I don’t know about you, but typing into my software is the last step in a high rise building of stairs.

If every job paid the exact same, what would you do for work?

(I asked this on Twitter. I might have dual posts for a while 🫣)

I need gifs here so I can post the one with the toddler screaming on the ground to describe my feelings about having to build up a new community due to a billionaire’s shitty leadership skills 🤬

Our LEVERAGE REDEMPTION episode covering this bit of fuckery was pitched and written by the very talented @daniellenicki.bsky.social . As always, out goal is to entertain AND horrify. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/fmcsa-advisory-panel-targets-predatory-leasing-contracts

I have a question that I’d love honest answers to:

Do you think social media is important to a screenwriter/filmmaker’s career?

I used to think it was. I made the connection which led to my manager on twitter. I meet a bunch of friends online too. But I don’t know if I still think it’s a necessity

I’m writing a new script and I’ve forgotten how to do this. I know I always forget and then somehow *poof* I finish, but right now…
WHAT ARE WORDS??!?

While I was looking for a picture to add to my new profile here, I found this screenshot. I asked my daughter how she would imitate me. She ate me up a little bit 😩

Hi 👋🏽 Remember me from that other place? Are we liking it here?
