A profane secret, 150 years in the making.
A collection of cursed paintings, spanning six continents.
And one prophetic painter at the center of it all.
THE MACABRE is showing exclusive through @HarperVoyagerUS, Summer 2025. We can’t wait for it to sink its teeth in you.

Pitched my film to an executive producer for my film program last week.
She mentioned it was truly original, marketable, timely and just what the horror genre needs and told me to absolutely finish this script.
Today I sent act 1 to my agent.
It’s never too late.

In 12 days directing my first film. With actors and lights and sound and everything.
It’s only 4 minutes. But I’m hosting 20 auditions. Making a shot list. Planning out the colors. The mood. Even original music.
I’m going to be slow & want retakes for coverage. 1/2 #filmsky #scriptsky

Does anyone have a good outlining method they love for writing scripts?
SAVE THE CAT is good but not great for me.
I'll pulled some stuff from Dan Harmon’s Story Circle.
But something that works more on beats, turns, events would be great.

If books about horror, art, colonialism and queerness are you thing you should buy THE MACABRE.
