So I made a thing, then I made a trailer for that thing 😊
Now I’m considering expanding that thing into a novel

Hey peeps! I’m finishing up post production on a suspense/comedy short film, yay! Looking for recommendations for short film festivals for this kind of short.

Looking for a movie to watch this Halloween? My movie “Ente” is now available on Tubi, Reveel, and StashTV on YouTube.

Two sisters must uncover the existence of a supernatural force that could've killed their father as they question each other's sanity and their own reality.

Our local film industry group had a small Halloween social yesterday and showed one of my shorts - The Souvenir - made way back in 2015. Got a good response from the audience. I was thrilled to see that it held up and looked pretty good for a zero budget, me as all crew production :-) #shortfilm

Today I cracked the backbone of a wickedly cool #shortfilm script I'm going to shoot in December. Yesterday's good writing is today's great.
Can't wait for what tomorrow brings. :-)

Things I had to explain after introducing the kiddo to Wayne’s World:

Cable access television

Do you have some grey poupon?

Laverne and Shirley

Car! (Move hockey net) Game on!

Robert Patrick as the T-1000

ChiaPets

Even with all that, she loved it, especially Garth

Party on, excellent!

The Hot Rock (for some fun)
Pelham 123
Odessa File
Day of the Jackal
Marathon Man
Next up:
Boys from Brazil

What am I missing?

So I'm diving into my own personal ZeroDraft30 this month - a passion project I've been thinking about for literally decades.
Now is the time, and my brain is screaming for me to outline longer :-)
Thanks for the push Scott Myers, @gointothestory.bsky.social

I’m really delighted with the latest draft of HIGH MOON, (my stoners meet aliens on the moon feature) so much tightened up, new exciting scenes added and ended up with the same page count 106!

So I watched the original Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 last night, again. Love that film but always think Gene Hackman is in it :-)
So tonight, do I watch the 2009 Tony Scott remake or stay in the early 70s and watch The Hot Rock, written by William Goldman, starring Robert Redford?

I wrought a thing: "why the news blackout over Mitch McConnell? what the fuck happened to him?" why aren't we getting any facts from the media? thanks for reading —
why the news blackout over Mitch McConnell? what the fuck happened to him?
imagine the media's reaction if Joe Biden did something like fall off his bike. oh wait, you don't have to

Proud dad moment-Took the kiddo to her first concert last night - Tears for Fears! Amazing show, stellar musicianship and terrific light show - two hours of great new tunes and lots of hits. If you can see this show it’s worth it!

Took my kiddo to see M:I 7 and we both had a great time. So great to see big screen spectacle that both of us enjoyed from start to finish.

Is Peter O'Toole not an incredible tour de force? I tell you, he's one that I'd have loved to have a drink (or nine) with.
Lawrence of Arabia
(a million other amazing roles)
The Stunt Man
