Here's the Coverfly page for "Maiden," just because the site closing is heartbreaking.
I'm not sure why it's so affecting, but...yeah.
Anyway, here's to it.

Since we're doing this, my Coverfly scores. The service will definitely be missed.

After nearly two years, a lot of shorts, and another feature script, I'm still really in love with my script "Maiden."
I don't know if you're supposed to say that, but yeah. I just am. "I like this kid best."
In that light, here are the 7 scoring Black List eval notes.
Just cuz I wanna feel better.

Anybody else got "Windmills of Your Mind," running on repeat in your head?
Just me?
Ok.

BTS test of the monster in my latest short, “Fortune:”
When a man refuses to tip his delivery driver, he receives a fortune cookie that reads “you will die in 4 minutes.”

Two sequences from "Mulholland Drive" will live forever in my head, not just rent free, but I'm paying their monthly mortgage:

I will always love D. Lynch. Always. Cuz there's a large part of my brain he will always own.

Since "tis the season" and my producer friend dug the script, I thought I'd share some of the reader notes from this AFF Second Rounder, "Nicholas 2132: The True Story Of Santa Claus."
It's the tale of an altruistic, time traveling thief whose adventures form the basis of the legend of St Nick.

Finally, this morning, I just said "screw it," and shot all of the footage I needed, live action, in front of a green screen.
And it looks great.
Yeah.
Sometimes you just need to get out of your way, and just get it done.
Ok. 198th time learning this lesson, but here we are.
Shrug.

Since we're sharing, this is the pitch deck cover for my latest, "Good Neighbors:"

"When an African American man's wife leaves him in the middle of the night, his creepy, voyeuristic neighbor assumes he's killed her and begins a campaign of harassment in this modern retelling of 'Rear Window.'"
