Hey I don't admit to know everything about how the government works, but I'm pretty confident there shouldn't be a threat of a shutdown every other month.

In honor of Valentine's Eve, I wanted to post my most romantic script for #FirstPageFriday
So naturally, here's the opening to my horror comedy, ESSENTIAL MANNERS FOR MODERN CANNIBALS, a story of love, hunger, and uncomfortable couples dinners.

T-minus 23 days to production:
Using an unexpected sick day as a chance to sit down in front of the Olympics and finish my shot list.
You'll never see your script differently than when you're breaking it down into teeny tiny pieces.

I responded to a full on panic about my lack of writing lately by coming home from work and writing 5 pages.

The most telling thing about the Right's rage over Bad Bunny's performance is their fundamental misunderstanding of music.
Great music doesn't have language barriers. It's about experiencing art and artists'cultures through sound.
More often than not, ignorance is completely willful.

If you asked me to continue naming foods I would want to eat for the Super Bowl, I think I would run out of options before I ever considered YOGURT.
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

I could say a lot of things about a lot of my time at Bard and the people in positions of power there, but I'll simply say this...

BREAKING: Bard College President Leon Botstein’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 2,500 times, including arranging travel to Epstein’s island and hosting a visit with “girls” on campus…
As a Bard student parent, I demand Leon Botstein’s immediate removal.

Let’s do something different today.
Are you a screenwriter with a short film, a reel, a trailer (either self directed or just written)?
Show me your stuff. Don’t be shy.
I directed this feature (this is a trailer) in 2014.

Logging off for the night. Have fun, be well, rest easy.
Much like Santa Claus, I'll leave you with some milk and cookies.

Which movie can you recite the most lines from? We've all got that one that is seared into our brain.
