I was profiled in Variety for directing Bystanders!! So grateful for this interview and having space to talk about my experiences. Neat.
Also, that headline?? Iconic.

It truly feels like screaming into the void
Tell an artist/writer/podcaster/maker that what they’re doing matters to you. They want to hear it. Making shit is lonely work most of the time and it helps to know that the circuit is being completed somewhere.

“My problem is I’m a perfectionist!”
Being a perfectionist isn’t something odd or special; it’s the default setting we all begin at as writers. We all seek perfection.
Professionals know perfection doesn’t exist and is only imagined in the eyes of the viewer/reader. “Perfect is the enemy of good.”

Many of you are racing to finish your manuscript before New Years and I am fucking here for it. Keep at it!
But as the holiday season is upon us and *gestures around at everything* some of you can’t write at all. And you are not alone. It’s okay. You owe yourself only that you take care of you.
