The Q&A and pitch sessions for the Big Apple Film Festival #BAFF have been very informative. Lots of diverse stories and genres being pitched. The agents and managers offered good feedback and even selected some scripts during the sessions. #scriptsky

Watching Godzilla. After the bridge scene, he heads back into the water, but they're shooting at him! No fair!

Part of my trail ride this morning. Peaceful. A respite from the news.

I got my copy: Sinclair Lewis. Ready to be horrified. Probably not ready.

I found "The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh" because I love Naveen Andrews, and one of my scripts has a role I imagine him in. I'm so glad the show introduced me to Sindhu Vee, who is such a powerhouse and funny! I want to see her character get her medical license and work in that environment.

I highly recommend this special. Very moving. A bizarre perspective to think of talking after you're gone, of hearing from someone after they're gone. For more time with Jane Goodall:

I'm very happy my script "Escape from Taylor Creek" made it to the semi-finals in the 2025 Nashville Film Festival screenplay competition and the semifinals in PAGE Awards screenplay contest. #PAGEAwards #scriptsky #screenwriting

A monster movie with the friendships of "Stand by Me" and "Mud."

Inspiring panel discussion today from the Hollywood Climate Summit 2025 about bringing movements and causes to the screen. It was fantastic to hear the views of Aru Shiney-Ajay, Dustin Lance Black, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, and host Steven Olikara.

An example of visuals furthering the story I like: In The Godfather, Michael and Kate walk hand in hand on the sidewalk until he learns his father was shot. Michael runs into a phone booth and leaves Kate outside on the sidewalk, illustrating the beginning of her being on the outside of his life.

Excellent, specific details offered in Pilar Alessandra's podcast On The Page, episode 932, Film Techniques that Tell the Story, interview with Jeremy Walton. For example: how "Shogun" showed the character's disorientation with a distorted fisheye POV to make the audience feel disoriented too.
