So thrilled my short film MILLY & MILO is reaching 1000 views on my YT channel. As a filmmaker it’s so nice to see the lovely comments of how this story resonated with them. Thanks so much! #shortfilm #filmmaker

While I am at the Las Vegas Filipino short Film Festival and leaving my beloved 11 year-old boxer behind with my wife and daughter, who don’t normally take care of her, I had to leave specific instructions.

15 May I typed FADE IN on a feature spy action comedy. I’ve never tackled this genre before and it was the most fun I’ve had writing. 3Aug I typed FADE OUT. I love this script! It makes me laugh out loud 🤪 It’s a fun ensemble piece I hope gets traction! #screenwriting

A few yrs ago I started @kenlburns.bsky.social THE VIETNAM WAR on Netflix (I think). I got 2 episodes in before its run ended. I had to finish it, so last yr I bought the set. My wife is gone for the summer in the Philippines and now I can finally watch it in peace. It’s truly phenomenal!

Socked in a whiteout over 11k feet altitude on Mammoth Mountain with my older brother. Ensuring I have no issues at this altitude we are now planning our Nepal trek for September! Flying out of Kathmandu to Lukla airport, the most dangerous airport in the world. Yikes!

At DFW airport on my way to Cali to hike around Mammoth Mt with my older brother to altitude train for our upcoming Nepal trek. BTW, DUNKIN nailed my extra cream/sugar just right!

I got this immediately after Putin invaded #Ukraine. And that orange moron continues to embarrass us, making the world quite shitty. Coward republicans. #Zelensky The WORLD is watching and with you, President Z!

9 yrs ago today we lost my lil brother Pauly (49) to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Forever heartbroken. His hardy laugh as big as his love of all beings & creatures. His essence finds its way into my writing, making me smile knowing how that goofball would deliver that line. 😔❤️

Hey there, #filmsky / #scriptsky - this is the best 12 minutes you'll spend today.

Check out Alex's amazing film and you'll understand right away why @ActorJoshPrice and I wanted to work with him.

Cheers, Alex - this is a wonderful film! Congratulations to the entire team that brought it to life!
My art is personal—a rediscovery, a reconciliation, a daring question. This short reflects living with depression: the isolation, numbness, longing, and the painful safety of despair. Sharing the screen with my mother, our bond lights the path from darkness. This is... 714

Our 4hr layover in Charlotte and now all flights to DFW canx to weather is now 9hrs+, diverting to Fla, then late return home. Ugh. Not fond of holiday travel.
