DEADCOATS - Short Film
YouTube video by Sam Robotham

Since we're all re-introducing ourselves, thought I'd re-share my dark comedy short film, DEADCOATS
The American Revolution seems very relevant again for some reason. Couldn't tell you why...
Check it out and enjoy!⤵️

I had a goal this year to watch at minimum 100 movies this year. I'm currently at 144 (and still aiming to hit 150 before the New Year)
Here's just a few of the excellent pairings/great runs I had this year in movies...

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Now that the holidays are winding down, I'm glad things are going back to normal:
Me writing insane script ideas for people to read in the hopes that it's good weird and not bad weird.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

I used to wonder why they never showed It's A Wonderful Life on TV in a 24 hour marathon. It's because the movie is just too special to overindulge.
Seeing it tonight in a theater reminded me of everything I love about the film and movies in general.
What a gift to the world.

I've read around 75+ scripts this year.
With December wrapping up, I thought it'd be a good time to give a year end #SpecScriptShoutOut to some of the most memorable scripts I got to experience this year.
Let's dive in!

Sorry for the vague #SpecScriptShoutout but very few writers could take an already excellent horror script, tear it down to the studs and build it back up as a refreshing, memorable and sickening story.
@joefavalaro.bsky.social is one of those writers.
Y'all ain't ready for this one...

MY 2025 SCREENWRITING WRAP-UP:

- 4 shorts (all written in 8 hours on my birthday)
- Over 75 (!) scripts read (I lost track)
- Too many meetings to count (with some incredible folks)
What did your year look like?

And just like that, what seemed like an impossible task a week ago is now a finished first draft, making it my 3rd feature of the year.
Now we work on making it better.

This current WIP is the hardest I've had to work to finish a script.
So many times my brain has urged me to walk away from it. Just leave it in the drawer until it gets easier. But it's not always easy. I know finishing the first draft is more important.
The only way out is through.

I just want to take a moment to say a hearty and sincere thank you to anyone who read one of my scripts this year.
There's too many of you to name/tag but each of you who took the time to read and engage with my writing is something I truly cherish.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
