I can't believe there's people finding out about THE ODYSSEY because of the new Nolan film and complaining about spoilers. Sir please it was written almost 3000 years ago what spoilers are you talking about.

It’s very hard to keep working on a story about a queer black kid knowing how most people in this country feel about black people and queer people. Especially a story THIS personal.
I’m trying tho. I’m trying.

Aside from pure ignorance and cowardice, this whole idea of “parents don’t wanna have to talk about real life with their sheltered children” is dripping in privilege.
I can assure you little brown boys and girls don’t have that luxury, for example. Embarrassing.
Stories matter, especially for kids

RE: the feature/series dilemma. I’m nearly done with the feature, and I can honestly say that this works very well as one. I wasn’t convinced at first, mainly bc I had so much that I wanted to include. But honestly… yeah I see it now, this seems to be working.

On the bright side, I’m finally done writing the short film. Now how I’m going to go about production? I have no clue. I have another short film I’m still trying to figure out production for.
Nevertheless, the scripts are done, and that’s a hurdle I’m very glad that I’m finally over.

Years later and I STILL can’t decide whether this WIP works better as a feature or series, so I’m now doing the rational thing (lol) and writing both.
