I write primal, character-driven horror stories that jolt and heal audiences.

Oh and I do motion graphics for my day job.
My biggest asset is a plethora of ideas.

My biggest weakness is a plethora of ideas.

Still pretty new to BlueSky, does anyone have recommendations for great screenwriting accounts I should follow?

Delving into a co-writing contract with a friend.

Suddenly I’m realizing why lawyers can charge so much.

Revisited Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl this week and, that is a FUN movie.

Tight script. Action-packed, but takes a moment when it needs to. Lots of rope swinging. Compelling romance. Sword fights. Jack Sparrow—I forgot he used to be really charming haha

Companies that sell UN-cut bagels put way to much faith in my slicing abilities.

Trying out the Remarkable 2 for distraction free writing. So far I love it. My eyes think they’re looking at paper. Anyone else try something similar?

Go see The Creator.
It’s flawed in a very human way, but it’s worth the journey. It was such a breath of fresh air to see a big sci fi blockbuster that wasn’t from a franchise or a toy. Plus Greig Fraser has quickly become my new favorite cinematographer.

Recently I’ve started sending new drafts to myself as a PDF to markup on my iPad. Psychologically it separates me just enough from my work to really read it with fresh eyes, and it saves on paper. Win win.

Hot damn, the WGA won. The summary of what's been agreed to is in the link but just, wow. www.wgacontract2023.org/the-campaign...

I love how I write a new scene at 2am that I can’t believe I ever lived without…then I wake up and find the scene redundant and overindulgent.

But then seeds from that dumb scene end up scattering all throughout Act 2B.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Got my plane tickets for AFF. I have no idea if my horror pilot made it in or not, but I’d committed to go either way. Anyone else going?

Playing with draft 3 of my next horror feature screenplay. Tentatively calling it Postpartum.

Amazing how far it’s come since my initial pitch to friends a year ago.

Formally started writing back in May.

Sketched up this idea last week. Built everything in 3d and here’s the before and after.

An animated version is incoming.

Been reading comics since I was a kid. It’s been really nice to break away from Marvel and DC. Beautiful and concise storytelling in Saga.
