Not typically a fan of body horror but saw Together last night and it was one of my favorite films of 2025 along with Companion. Now if Weapons delivers like I think it will that will be horror film trifecta of the year!

So I’m watching Fear Street: Prom Queen and for some reason it gives off a super “fabricated” 80’s vibe. Can’t pinpoint it but it’s like they’re trying too hard to make it look like the 80’s . Also the first kill was super lame….just my opinion

SINNERS. Go see it. In a theater. 70mm if possible. I’d read nothing about the movie, watched no trailers — went in blind and was BLOWN AWAY. And Delroy Lindo better get an Oscar nomination.

After watching Sinners I am questioning my ability as a writer 😥😥 but damn it was such a good story that doesn’t follow the typical structure of a feature

Well now, the short film I've written a script for (based on one of my short stories), now has a director and producer attached.
Getting there slowly! 🤩

Today, I get to say for the first time, I am a repped writer.
Absolutely thrilled to now be working with Maddy Weese at Bellevue Productions and can't wait to see all the things we do together.
Let's get to work.
