Check out Tom's short!
For the Sunday crowd, I released my short film S.K.A.T.E. this weekend. If you enjoy universal stories about finding connection and have 7-8 minutes to spare, check it out! bsky.app/profile/tsch...
On a skateboard, everyone speaks the same language.
S.K.A.T.E. is a short film about how one game can connect total strangers.
🎥Filmed in DC ✨Inspired by a real moment
Now playing on YouTube youtu.be/59wgFUKzB4s

Apple TV has done it again. They are really killing it. Stick is so good. #scriptsky I may be biased as Tin Cup is one of my favorite movies.

Even though I didnt advance in @nycmidnight.bsky.social , I did get some solid comments from round two. "The perspective of a lifelong love that lasted all those years was deeply moving."
" I had tears in my eyes as Jason finally remembered asking Amy about love at first sight."

The Rehearsal, episode 3 of the current season is beyond hilarious. I know most people are talking about that "one scene." Can we talk about how funny it was to make all of the actors that played his family be on circus stilts and have like ceramic hands. #scriptsky And the sister!

If any of you were into the Tik Tok groundhog musical, Oliver just released a full version! (Of one track) #scriptsky This story is perfect for animation. But seriously, if you don't know and are in to musicals, do a deep dive on it. You won't regret it. youtu.be/WWd4d9u1SCY?...

Fingers crossed, I get another "creepy" genre for round two of @nycmidnight.bsky.social. Fingers also crossed I'm not grouped with any of the other killer writers I engage with on this platform. I'm also starting a Justice for @nickwaswriting.com movement. Fight or Flight rocked!

Finally caught TALK TO ME. At the core was this idea of the "sleepover scare" a la Bloody Marry or Candy Man that was then elevated to this drug like experience. I loved it! 5 stars. #scriptsky

I hope the success of THE PITT helps studios realize the value of longer episode counts for seasons. I want 22 to 25 episodes of this show. I want an episode following each character and their lives outside the ER. ##scriptsky

With prompts dropping, for #ScreenwritingChallenge, here's a #FirstPageFriday of my short Which Witch, which originated as my 1st round entry in last year’s competition. I pulled Fairytail and end up with a sweet story of a witch finding her own way. #NYCMSWC

This post is well overdue, but I had the pleasure of reading the new feature by @nickwaswriting.com. He has a real talent for writing both visual and spoken humor. There is a bit in the 3rd ACT that is diabolical! If he is ever looking for readers, jump on it. Plus, he's just a genuinely great dude!

First Togetherness, then Somebody somewhere. HBO has robbed the world of these characters and their offbeat yet universal stories. Thank you @markduplass.bsky.social and everyone invloved. #scriptsky I didn't think "The Climb" could make me cry.. I was wrong.
