Doing the #ScriptSky intro thing:
I'm a (mostly) feature writer that specializes in turning genre tropes on their heads.
My sci-fi thriller SUNDOWN was on the 2023 Black List.
My biopic JUMPMAN: THE LEGEND OF SHIGERU MIYAMOTO was a 2024 Nicholl semifinalist.
I won the AFF Pitch Comp once.

It's surprising that Texas isn't known for its winters because 80% of Winter Olympic events seem like they were invented with the words, "Let's see how fast the sumbitch can go."

My son has been watching The Mandalorian for the first time. And last night he was like, "Dad, they need to make another season of The Mandalorian that's between 2 and 3."
And I was like, "What do you mean?"
