Same for breaking into films. Even after making films, you’re always breaking back in. I made a spectacle short film which got me reps and meetings, in which I pitched and landed my first film. But now the world is awash with spectacle short films. I don’t think any one path is repeatable…
Half the job of breaking into writing is figuring out how to break into writing. Just writing isn't enough. There is no one way in. There are hundreds. And figuring out which way will work best for you and your work is the trick of it. Every one of us has a very different story about how we did it.

Write fearlessly. Write like your parents, your boss, your third grade teacher will never, ever read it. Write from the darkest, most private corners of your mind. Put yourself out there. The real you. The fearless you. That's where you keep the best and most real art. The art that can change us.

Very excited to see a “final” software update for #Highland2 with a notice about #HighlandPro coming early this year! @johnaugust.bsky.social
If you’re a #screenwriter or any kinda writer, check out Highland. Since I didn’t partake in the beta, I’m in for some surprises…

#ROBOCOP is remembered for many things, but in #filmmaking terms it plays like a masterclass in shot composition and staging, particularly using depth for relationship dynamics.

David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD was such an enigmatic inspiration at NYU when I was a film student, not so much for what the film was, but for how it was made - with determination, by a young upstart director, on nights and weekends, over a long period of time. Few approaches capture the 90s NYU vibe more…

Only took me like 30 years to see this, but TETSUO: The Iron Man is one bold, crazy #film. Huge inspirations from #DavidLynch and #Cronenberg. Clearly a forerunner to the banned #NIN video from
John Reiss with Bob Flanagan. It’s sorta Japan’s #EvilDead moment. Whoa. #filmsky

Huge compliment. Thank you. Check out the film!
They say that as a writer, you need to hook your reader in the first sentence. Well this was the equivalent of that in filmmaking because OMG
