Ultra-honored to see my brand new time loop assassination thriller THE RESET land as a Finalist in this year's Filmmatic Sci-Fi + Fantasy Competition. Definitely felt like I'd bitten off more than I could chew with this one (especially when dealing with notes). But it was still SO fun!!

Every now and again (esp. while wrangling a jangling first draft) you get a little bit of good news and it reminds you why you paddled out into the lineup in the first place.

Wishing you all a brilliant rest of the (writing) week.

Thrilled to find out that HEREAFTER made the QFs of the 2025 Big Break competition! Thx so much @finaldraftinc.bsky.social for the nod.

I'm honored to see this project land in the thriller/horror category alongside so many other fantastic sounding scripts from so many truly great writers!

Thank you @coverfly.bsky.social. It's been real.

As have the myriad connections you've helped forge between up-and-coming writers all over the globe.

We'll miss your hustle + grit! And your super-clean UI.

Love it when even my most cumbersome, seeming mouthful of a one-word title gets a look-see.

Plus, who *wouldn't* want to read a gender-swapped Radiers set on the surface of Mars adapted from a rad public domain sci-fi story by the kick-ass pulp master H. Beam Piper?

Kinda love the feeling of posting a shiny new project to @coverfly.bsky.social and seeing it land WAYYYY down at the bottom of the list without any sort of ranking at all. Badges? We don't need no stinking--

Well, actually, maybe just one or two. Someday. If I'm lucky.

Honored to hear from @heidihornbacher.bsky.social that Escape Velocity (my coming of age road movie/spy thriller) made the Top 50! Massive congrats @theartofcharts.bsky.social and all my fellow writers. And thank you again @networkisa.bsky.social for all you do to bring outsider voices to the fore.

Very nice to see that my 80s coming of age road trip spy thriller ESCAPE VELOCITY made it to the Second Round of this year's @networkisa.bsky.social Fast Track Fellowship. This project is near + dear to my heart. So thx so much you guys! And huge congrats to my fellow second rounders!!

Love thinking that *maybe* the very same person who just finished reading my western about Buddhism (so, an eastern?) is now also reading my Busby Berkeley meets All Quiet on the Western Front feature examining the perils of letting your art blind you to the rise of fascism…

Stoked to see the latest (bonkers) rev of my horror/comedy REJUVENATION make the finals of this year's Filmmatic Horror competition. Sometimes you never know what'll come when you blow a script up and then stitch it back together again (more than a few times). Thx so much guys!!
February 16, 2025 at 1:41 AM
Bah! Why would they do this to us??

Like we need additional reminders of the chaos at the core…
February 6, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Hey @roadmapwriters.com. Thx so much for asking!!

As a distraction, I've been going back through an old pilot of mine and morphing it into a feature (per rad notes from a killer producer).

So far, so fun...

Stoked to see my pilot about an FBI hostage negotiator having to track down and take down her father—a former special ops sniper now on a mission to execute the world's ten worst CEOs (sound familiar????) make to the QFs of one of my all-time favorite competitions. Congrats to everyone who entered!!

Since it's really starting to look a lot like... Nakatomi time, here's a #FirstPageFriday from my Hans Gruber origin story Die Hard prequel written expressly for the #StuntList.

SO MUCH FUN to spend time in that universe (as a way to hone my action writing chops).

Well, that’s my holiday wish list sorted. Thank you @theblcklst.bsky.social!!

Ripped from the headlines (before they were written).

MESSAGE THE SHOOTER
A hot-tempered ​FBI hostage negotiator gets tapped to take down an elite assassin on a killing spree targeting the world’s worst CEOs. Turns out, the shooter is actually her father.

Very thankful to find out from a writer I massively respect that THE ESCAPIST made the semifinals of @VailFilmFest 2024. This one means tons to me—especially because of what this script says about the dangers of letting your art distract you from society's slide toward fascism. Deeply appreciative!!

You know what makes going back to revamp a script you'd set aside for maybe a bit too long? Getting rad + actionable notes from the awesome folks at Barnstorm. Like, line-level notes in the script itself. Feedback as detailed and as on the money as I'd expect from my closest friends and colleagues.

For the short I'm hoping to direct in early '25.

LAST CALL
After surviving a terrible car accident, a grieving young man follows the restless spirit of his comatose girlfriend to their favorite bar for one last round before her parents pull the plug.
