If you're in LA, a short film I wrote is playing tomorrow night at SpookyFest! It's called BATHROOM SPIDER, directed by Christine Weatherup, and we'd love to see you there!

Being a writer means so much of my creative life isn't physical - it's all typed-up and stored in the nebulous pocket universe that is the Cloud. Sometimes, you have to get out of your head and use your hands instead.

Great news! CBS, it's your turn!
TWDC News: STATEMENT ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE FROM THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY September 22, 2025 STATEMENT ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE FROM THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY The Walt Disney Company issued the following statement today regarding Jimmy Kimmel Live: Last Wednesday, we made a decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflating a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the lsst few days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.

Beyond fun watching "The Fog" for the first time in a theater full of horror fans then hearing John Carpenter and Larry Franco talk about it! Great kickoff to spooky season. ☁️☁️ ⛵️☁️☁️
Three men in folding chairs sit on a stage in front of a screen reading "AC American Cinematheque." A still from the Carpenter film "The Fog" where a man-shaped ghost with red eyes emerges from a foggy backdrop. Text on a pink background reads "American Cinematheque, The Fog, Q&A with filmmaker John Carpenter and producer Larry Franco, 45th Anniversary"

Actor Jeremy Allen White delivers a line saying, "They're non-negotiables." This is a moment from S3E2 of The Bear where the protagonist defends a list he's written, garnered from memories in the S3E1 flashback episode, that will make his restaurant excellent and allow the restaurant to win a Michelin Star. The list is mocked by other restaurant employees and the word "non-negotiables" is thrown around a lot through the rest of the episode.

Having a bit of SDCC fomo this year, but I'm hanging out with my grandma and writing to this view, so I can't complain too much. ♡
