I am EXTREMELY grateful for the work I have as a screenwriter right now. It is the best slate of projects ever. I am blessed as heck.

opening monologue in TOUCH ME should be a new staple of acting auditions
party vest 2016/party vest 2026
I also think Marisa Abela can do things with her face that no other actor can. The level of expression is crazy.
God I love this show

RIGHT?!!!

The thing I wasn't very hip to then was the prevalence of Evil Dumbasses
I think would have believed it all pretty readily except for the part about how spectacularly STUPID all the bad guys are
Just really hit me that 2016 was a decade ago.
This is so wonderful - thank you. Also forwarded to Dresage, who wrote all those songs. <3

I've been at Fantastic Fest for nearly a week, and I have to absolutely shriek my praises for Curry Barker's OBSESSION.
