I loved loved loved Roofman and I’m so glad it got made. Everyone involved crushed it.
Buuuuut it feels like a bleak sign for the industry that it took 7 production companies to get a modestly budgeted movie with huge stars across the finish line, right?

I thought working from home as a writer with no real set schedule messed up your concept of time, but it's nothing compared to retail.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

A couple years ago, I was on The Black List with a script that’s in development with an amazing producer.
After that, I signed on to write & produce two projects with fantastic, talented teams.
This year, I pitched a movie with cool IP, a director of a hit film, and a great actor attached to star.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
