It should count as a stat if you’re annoying enough to bait someone into taunting you. Tyrique Stevenson racking up hidden yards there.

A script request in the 2000s meant printing it out on three hole paper, cardstock covers, two brass brads with washers, and going to the garage where you'd lay the printed script on the concrete and use a rubber mallet to make the brads nice and flat like a burnt offering to the script gods.

I feel seen. The amount of money I spent on paper, ink, supplies and postage could fund my 7th feature film of 2024.

It’s definitely doable. I have completed 5 feature films in 2024 and have 2 others in production.
The goal is to outline individually - 1st draft simultaneously - rewrite individually.
- 5 days a week (take weekends off)
- 4 scripts
- 3 pages/day on a different script
- Each week 1 script gets 2 days (6 pages) on a rotating schedule
Every 4 weeks, all 4 scripts align at the same page count.

My plan to write 4 new features simultaneously in 2025.
Crazy? Maybe.
Achievable? Possibly.
Gonna try it? Definitely.

Deep in my editing cave, sifting through thousands of puzzle pieces of footage from my thriller movie COVET.
I first connected the pieces I knew fit together.
Now I am discovering which versatile pieces can go in several spots and deciding where they tell the story best.
I. Love. Making. Movies.

I am making so many movies and writing so many scripts at the same time that I am forgetting which scene I am working on for which movie. Not bragging at all. Have not been paid a penny for any of them. Just sharing and realizing I need to back burner a couple. #screenwriting #producing #directing
