2024 Nicholl Quarterfinalist & AFF 2nd Rounder

https://writers.coverfly.com/profile/writer-a1d64cb70-257464
In honor of The Bear coming out, when my friends and I had finished filming our pilot in Chicago (around the same time S3 filmed), we went to celebrate at a restaurant who mistook us for crew members of The Bear. We insisted we had nothing to do with the show. No one believed us.

NYC writers (or natives)— any spots I NEED to visit before I leave?

I'm sad about the changes being made to the Nicholl Fellowship. While everything is subjective, my script that made the quarterfinals last year has never resonated with a reader at the Black List.

Moreover, I was still a student at film school— one that isn't even a part of the new program. (1/2)

If Severance episode 10 ends on the cliffhanger of the innies going down to the testing floor and becoming their outies (bc of the elevator), only hinting that Mark and Gemma will reunite...I will be so livid if we have to wait another 3 years bc that would be on par with S1 Ep. 10

What are the chances of getting sick (for the first time in over a year!) right as I start a new job...but at least I have homemade soup.

Deciding to implement a new system where I write 5 pages each day instead of a sequence every 2 weeks. My calendar now looks cursed 😭

(animation will always be superior, but if it MUST be done...)

The amount of people my age I've seen not understand the Newhart reference in the WWDITS finale...open the schools!

WWDITS ends tonight and I'm already planning a rewatch (and will be in denial that the show is actually over).

It's that time of year where I go to parties and pet animals the entire time

It really is the holiday season because being able to download and read scripts for awards season is a gift! Debating whether I want to read The Substance or The Wild Robot first.

Sharing the bread I made over the holidays. Pictured: one batch of many 😅 Planning on making more in the next few weeks and then I get a break for the next 8 months! Wild to think the family recipe hasn't changed in 100+ years.

Outlined a new feature script today and now I'm debating which script to write first...but it's a good problem to have!

It's that time of year again where I'm resisting the urge to dye my hair a crazy color.

Participating in my first #FirstPageFriday — set in 1960 Chicago. When a rebellious teen escapes a home for unwed mothers, she finds unlikely solace with a childless widow who offers to protect her from the home director that's hellbent on tracking her down. #scriptsky

I think The Holiday should be legally obligated to play during all of November and December, actually.

Why have a normal sleep schedule when I can sporadically write at 12:30am because an idea won't stop ping ponging around my brain?

People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better. What is your favorite movie from 1987? Because picking one favorite film of all time is a nightmare assignment. 😜

Watching John Carpenter's The Thing on TCM because the universe knew I missed rewatching it in October.

It is funny to me that 1980s movies are now classics— I always associated TCM with black and white films and watching with my grandfather, in awe.

Anyone have a cute TCM story?

Hi, everyone! Looking to make more friends on 🦋

A little about me: I write drama features but tend to write dramedy/comedy for teleplays.

I just finished a draft of my latest TV script, following an autistic wedding planner.

What stories are y'all writing? What genres?
