I used to walk to the video store with Gene, and he let me fill up a small paper bag with movies from the bargain bin. They were almost always horror movies. And he would always sit and listen to the stories I wrote that those movies inspired.
This is for Gene. #austinfilmfestival #scriptsky

So glad I stuck around to see how good life could get. And to meet all the incredible people on this wild ride. And to know, most of all, that I never gave up on that bright-eyed boy who wanted nothing more than to live out his dreams and prove to the world that magic is, in fact, quite real.

Can’t put into words how grateful I am to be recognized by #AFF 💛
There was a time when I very nearly let the light inside me go dark. When I stopped believing in my dreams. When I didn’t think I mattered enough to stick around.
And then there was a time when movies literally saved my life.

Not sure if Bluesky’s the place for selfies with boring backgrounds, but I’m on my way to the Austin Film Fest for the first time, and I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been looking forward to this sorta thing my whole life 🥹
Smiling on the outside, crying on the inside, grateful all over #scriptsky

The name’s Bond. James Bond. Theo James Bond.
If I were a betting man, I wouldn’t be a very good one. But I’d still put money on Theo James as the next 007 #bond26
