Fail upwards.

If showpeople stay focused on the simple work of building strength in our craft and strength in our community, then our success becomes sustainable.

...but what if you're right?

Showbusiness is simple.

It's only ever taken two things to succeed in showbusiness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

My first #firstpagefriday post on here. A Guy Ritchie style feature set during biblical times. #scriptsky

Sometimes I dip back into the dusty archives of unfinished stories because I started writing them before I was ready. I might be ready to finish THE CURSE YOU CARRY this year. #Scriptsky #FirstPageFriday

This gives me a great opportunity to plug the good work of the Athena Film Festival's Abortion Pipeline Project, which strives for accuracy in abortion stories for screen and television. I attended their 2025 workshop and it was so impactful and informative. #Scriptsky athenafilmfestival.com/app/

This one definitely needs some work! #Scriptsky "After experiencing sudden abdominal pain, a DA survivor discovers she is one of thirteen women with a mysterious key surgically implanted inside her. Now she must evade the masked killer as he comes to collect the final key for his cryptic ritual."

Very quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread this morning because I need to go coach at an AYSO tournament in a few minutes. But I want to talk a little bit about the difference between BEING HUNGRY and BEING DESPERATE, and HOW YOU SELL YOURSELF. 🧵1

If you're a white supremacist, an alpha male, an ableist or eugenicist, a homophobe or transphobe, an economic Darwinist, or just a conservative, don't assume this is not for you.

This is 100% for you.
