Looking for script consultant recs! Just wrapped a coming-of-age adventure (Goonies/Stand By Me/E.T. vibes) – need someone who gets Amblin-style storytelling: fun surface, emotional depth underneath. Specializes in family films/kid-driven stories. Who do you trust? #Screenwriting #scriptsky

Just wrapped the first draft of my latest feature screenplay - an homage/love letter to Steven Spielberg and all things Amblin from the 1980s.

112 pages. Not bad for a first draft.

Putting it aside for now. Dive into revisions soon.

Just wrapped Act 1 on new feature script. Need a brain break before tackling Act 2. Got it all mapped out and love where this is going.

Ever had an idea that you needed to get down fast before you forgot, but your pen couldn’t keep up with the rush of ideas bursting forth? My hand hurts from writing so fast!

Last summer, as Springfield Little Theatre was heading into its ninetieth season, they reached out and asked if I might be able to create something to help them celebrate 90 years of shows. I was happy to help.

So I did the best way I knew how- by creating a Word Portrait painting for them:

Yes, I am aware of this and I think it’s awesome!

And if you are curious I once got OUR DOG (‘88 model) up to 90 mph. Had to slow it down ‘cause the buns were shakin’! 🤣🌭🏎️

A few scenes from my script Bury Me At Phantom Ranch take place on Route 66 in Springfield, MO (for any producers/directors thinking about a Route 66 story). 😉

Other MO locations include St. Louis, Joplin and of course the Uranus Fudge Factory.

The exposition in this trailer is so on the nose (as they say):

“Charlotte, how’ve you been?”

“Well that might take a while. We haven’t spoken in a year.”

“Just thought a brother would want to see his sister.”
