Ok fine Sam geez twist my arm.
#TitlePageThursday #ScriptSky
Great job to all the politicians in Sacramento and LA who sat on their hands and did nothing as LA’s massive entertainment economy bleed out.
Both of my brothers are hard-working IATSE members, born and raised in LA, both have moved out of LA after being out of work for years. 💔 #filmsky #scriptsky
Is there a #Scriptchat this week? Asking so I can plan my ice needs.
#scriptsky
Signed sincerely,
A professional screenwriter who probably knows nothing. / END
#Scriptsky
MOST OF ALL, JUST WRITE
Trying to break into screenwriting will kick you down again and again and again.
The only way to keep going is to learn your lessons and apply them to the next script. Make each new idea stronger than the last. Fight for yourself. Just keep writing. / 5
#Scriptsky
YOUR IDEAS HAVE TO BE YOURS
This industry loves results. One way to predict that is to look at trends. If your idea touches that trend, you may get asked to compromise your idea to an unrecognizable point
Don't. Wait for someone who gets it. Your idea is what got you there. Keep it / 4
#Scriptsky
Now just because I didn't sell it now doesn't mean it's dead. The biggest comment we got was "writing is great but [x]" Just not the right time.
Maybe it will be in a year or 5 or 10. But I made so many incredible connections that it is impossible to look at this as a failure. / 3
#Scriptsky
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
I met my rep through my award winning sci fi feature. I thought it was great. People told me as much. So when we took it out, the offers would come flooding in, right?
NOPE. Of the 2 dozen places we went, maybe 5 or so resulted in a positive response / 2

It's been one year since I officially landed representation for my Screenwriting career.
Here's a few things I've learned so far...🧵/ 1
#Scriptsky
I take it back... there is ONE script I never changed the title page, because DANG IT! I worked too hard on that logo 😤
Also, for anyone who's read this one, it has a VERY different, new ending 👀 #Scriptsky
In the spirit of #TitlePageThursday, here are a few on my non-standard title pages... #Scriptsky
I want to take a moment to say a very sincere thank you to every one of you who supports me and my work.
Making and releasing your work independently takes a lot of effort but knowing there's even a handful of people who appreciate that effort makes it all worth it.
So again: THANK YOU
#Scriptsky

Good morning, #ScriptSky.
I'm seeing a thing I don't want to see: some people appearing to use generative AI to illustrate script covers, look books, and pitch decks.
DON'T.
CoS.
Never a truer word written.

Bare your teeth. Growl from your gut.
And write another sentence. It's in you. The beast.
You have to let it out.

One would THINK some of the music could be used in Toku Love Letter, but that project is more of an active nostalgia tap, specifically the late 90s. #scriptsky
I stay in the feeds when I want to avoid politics. Like #filmsky or #scriptsky
