The Amazon Studios docuseries LuLaRich heavily inspired The Downline, so watching Roberta Blevins react to my short on her pod was a top ten moment of 2023. So surreal.

Still haven't checked it out? Watch it on YouTube! youtu.be/5gocTUFY6Ps?...

Last night was the U.S premiere of Ava DuVernay’s film, “Origin” at the @VaFilmFest. She wanted to bring it to Charlottesville because of the 2017 tragedies. The film is stunning - full of love, rage, and hope - and hearing her talk about film in person was a dream fulfilled.

Somehow, the teaser reached OVER 5k views so I figured it's time -- we’re releasing THE DOWNLINE!

I’ll be posting a teaser and a new still each day this week till the release of our culty short on Friday, Oct 27th at 2pm. Check it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT5-...

In honor of the short film's teaser reaching 2.5k views this week, I'm sharing some pages of THE DOWNLINE script along. Right now, I'm working to turn the proof of concept into a feature length film🤞

(All dialogue directly inspired by real MLMers + their terrifying anecdotes) #scriptsky

The Downline’s teaser video keeps doing numbers! We hit 1k overnight.

I don’t know where these viewers are coming from, but it thrills me to no end they’re getting in on the #MLM creepiness.

Somehow, the teaser for my film doubled in views overnight. I've never had a video reach this many people before 🥹

“Do the work and pray for the luck” is my new mantra 🙏
One of the hardest things about a writing career is being aware that success always includes some element of luck and knowing every day that if Stephen King picked up your book and tweeted about it or if Obama saw it in an airport, you'd have it made. So you do the work and pray for the luck.

A HAUNTING IN VENICE was awesome. Kenneth Branagh’s best take on Agatha Christie yet.
