As a screenwriter my biggest dream is to own day write a line so perfect that Redditors and IMDB trivia writers claim it was ad-libbed by the actors on set.
It'll catch any skeet with wga, scriptsky, television writer, roadmapwriters, preWGA, 5amwriter, screenpit, scriptchat, funpagefriday, script library, screenplay, screenwriter, tv writer, screenwriting, firstpagefriday, SpecScriptShoutout, spec script, specscript w/o hash tag, in a link or alt text.
You can keep Val Kilmer’s memory alive by watching any one of the films he made while he was alive instead of seeing that AI “performance”. IDGAF if his family agreed to it, he DIDN’T.
Incredibly ghoulish times.

Sweet! I should be recovered from Fantastic Fest by then!
👀
Lemme know when you're in Austin and we'll do a little day drinkin'!
Good. He needs to stay cancelled.
The Dark Side’s calling, Junkions!
Luckily Brian & @crobertcargill.bsky.social are here to walk you (like a dream) thru the rock fable that is EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS!
They also discuss the sequel, which is…also a movie!
RskT now if you believe Eddie LIVES

I've been wrestling with this a lot lately. I usually give the Cliff's notes version. Highlights, mixed-company lowlights, & how it all feeds into my voice & why I write what I do.
It's interesting enough to draw follow up questions if they're interested but clear enough to move on to the project.
Ooooooooof
New day / absurdity. Received feedback on a grant application for a short I've already shot. All positive from both reviewers. Plan, budget, crew, & script inspire confidence & are well thought out.
Not selected. No reasons given.
I'm so good at almost making stuff no one wants to help. Wheeeeee.
The title page of my short film script for Necrolepsy.
Decided what I really needed was a short version of my latest feature script… whittled the first act down to a tight 11.5 pages.
Next up a feature script of the short I just shot. #scriptsky #amWriting
I'm literally like, "Wait, I need you to explain it to me better." 😜
Black List evaluator really be like: "This script is ready to sell. Writer should partner with a producer and try to attach a director or actors and pitch to smaller horror prodcos."
Rating: 6 in every category
🫠🥴
I noticed a couple on scripthive.com but not many when I checked a while back.
Specifically saw Cloverfield and one other that escapes me currently.
That's a wrap!!
#Scriptsky
LOAD IN DAY!!! LET'S MAKE A MOVIE!
#Scriptsky
I'm really excited to get this story out in the wild. Between this and some opportunities to pitch it this year, my fingers are just staying crossed for months at a time now. 🤣
Thank you!!
Script, look book, and essay questions all submitted to the super secret, invite-only fellowship application. A huge thank you to everyone who helped get my stuff ready to go!
First page of the Necrolepsy screenplay which reads: EXT. BIG PHARMA LAB – DAY, SUNSET A modern, sterile monstrosity of glass, metal, and bleached concrete set amongst carefully manicured landscaping. BRIAN (30s, m), absentminded, sloppily dressed, jogs past a sign with a modern, geometric, and indecipherable logo. He pulls up at the front doors and fumbles with his employee badge, he swipes it angrily at a badge reader. ANNOYED BEEP A red light winks. He groans. Tries again. Same result. Fuck it. He tries another door. CLICK Finally! He yanks the door open and stomps inside. INT. BIG PHARMA LAB – DAY, SUNSET Severe, high tech, all computer monitors, steel and tile. Several lab coats hang on hooks by the door. Brian floats in to find CAROLINE (30s, F), all business with a tidy bun and fashionable outfit, as she preps syringes. A SCREECH rings out from one of the many cages lining one wall. CAROLINE Late again Bri, and I think someone noticed. BRIAN Yeah, yeah. What’s on the docket? Still narcolepsy meds? CAROLINE Yup. Gonna have to keep your sweetie up all night. He nabs a lab coat, slips it on en route to the cages. A happy CRY now as he approaches a mother rhesus monkey and her two babies. BRIAN (to monkey) Hey Sasha. Feeling ok tonight?
First page of the Terms & Conditions screenplay which reads: EXT. SUBURBAN HOUSE — DUSK Boring, whitebread suburbia. Immaculate lawns, over-priced cars in the driveways, every cookie cutter house the same. Except the one right in front of us. The tightly drawn black curtains on a bedroom window promise gothic angst inside. Pre-lap: The clacking of a mechanical keyboard... INT. DARK BEDROOM - NIGHT ROB (30s, M), his bleary eyes slits, stands at his desk interacting with ChadPDG — his AI agent. ROB (outloud, as he types) Okay, I think I’ve found the right book. Are you sure you can translate a summoning spell in Latin? ON COMPUTER SCREEN CHADPDG (typed out) Yes, of course. Drop in the pages and let me work. The ChadPDG window minimizes and we see a cursor open a folder and grab a group of images of text and ancient pictures. The window comes back, with a CLICK Rob releases the mouse button and the pictures drop into the UI. CHADPDG (typed out) Thank you. Give me just a moment to process these... INT. DARK BEDROOM - NIGHT ROB (still typing) Perfect. Send the response to my phone. He backs away from the desk and turns to take in his room. It’s a wreck. ...Except the space cleared in the center of the room. Rob crosses to his bed and kneels down. He pulls out a thin sheet of plywood that’s been painted black. He swings the board into the empty floor space and we see what could only be a magic circle has been crudely chalked on it.
Time for a #FirstPageFriday #FPF twofer! Page one of my feature Necrolepsy and for my short @terms-n-cons.bsky.social which just made quarterfinalist in Killer Shorts and we're shooting next week!
#Scriptsky #Filmsky #AmWriting
I really like it. It's a blast and chaotic and has something important to say.
Follow up... anyone out there in #scriptsky land want to take a look at a look book and give feedback?
The list is live! I see some mutuals on there too! Congrats all!
#scriptsky #filmsky
Hell yeah! Less than two weeks from our shoot dates and our script is out there placing in contests!

Anyone got a solid look book guide (ie: what to include, not a visual template) or examples that you love?

Would LOVE to see that one.
