Nice news. My historical true story, CONVICTION, has advanced to semi-finalist at the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition. Top 2% of over 11,500 entries. I am doubtful it will go any further. So many exceptional writers out there. Grateful! #AFF #AUSTINFILMFEST #SCREENWRITER #SCRIPTSKY

I asked AI to write me a paragraph featuring 3 reasons why AI cannot write as well as human writers. Even AI gets it. Hire a writer.

Always loved submarine thrillers and always dreamed of writing one. 10 years ago I got my chance...bringing a director's story to life.
The Blue Whale is about an 18 year-old American girl who stows away on a cocaine smuggling submarine to escape a life of prostitution in Colombia. #scriptsky

Page Awards Quarterfinalist. Happy to see my latest script, CONVICTION, make it into the Top 10% out of over 9000 entries from all over the world. More results to come throughout the summer and fall...we'll see if this Conviction will *ahem* stick. #scriptsky

Grateful to have been awarded a partial scholarship to a screenwriting retreat next year in Spain where I'll be mentored by Hollywood pros. But, with 3 kids in college this fall, and a large balance due to secure my spot, my bleeding wallet is screaming at me “Get your priorities straight, dreamer!”

Cool news to share. The Clear Conspiracy is a TV series pilot I wrote a few of years ago, based on the book: EOL – End of Life, by Art Jetthree. The cool news is that a Proof of Concept Trailer is going into production in Brooklyn New York. Sending positive vibes to the production team! #scriptsky

The first feature film screenplay I ever wrote. I didn't really know what I was doing...self-taught, learn-by-doing stuff...but it was good enough to get read by Demi Moore's people back in the 90s, and got optioned and put in development by an LA producer in the 00's. #scriptsky

I was scouring my files of half-baked loglines, ideas, random thoughts, abandoned scripts, etc, for my next possible spec script. Discovered I have enough stuff to write a short story collection. Gonna do that. It'll take years, but it's the only way these stories will ever see the light of day.

The first film I ever made, way back in high school. Inspired by Star Wars a, I built a 6-foot model on our dining room table. I scavenged battleship model parts to create the details. When I used the film to get into film school, they told me it was terrible. Yeah, but I had nowhere to go but up.

1/5. Celebrating! I can finally reveal that I’ve known that my screenplay, CONVICTION, was a finalist (top 10) in the Screencraft True Story & Public Domain Screenplay Competition for a few weeks. The contest advised me that a juror was impressed with the work and wanted to speak with me immediately

I'm all for a person's right to freedom of expression, but the guy sitting next to me in the movie theatre last night smelled like sewer.

New scares unlocked. Just completed a new screenplay...which is actually a drastic overhaul of a script I wrote 5 years ago. Now begins the long process of getting it out into the world. Any producers out there interested in a contained domestic horror film, with a budget under 1.5? #scriptsky

I haven't entered any scripts in any competitions in over 2 years. So, this is pretty cool. #scriptsky #screenwriting

Late to the party on this, but last night I discovered that Shake 'n Bake no longer supplies the plastic bags. Therefore no Shake. Just Bake. How can you be Shake 'n Bake with no Shake? The Shake is what makes the Bake!

Here’s the new short film I wrote. It’s kind of a hyper-stylized biographical/dramatic envisioning of one of Canada’s Olympic athletes and their journey through personal resilience, sacrifice, and determination. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwqg...
