Always felt like my high concept sci-fi horror that makes you squirm would be a perfect fit for BLACK MIRROR 👀 #filmsky #scriptsky

Throwing a couple random pages at you for #ThurdPageThursday because I love springing this script on unsuspecting victims. #Scriptsky

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:upne6wvlygjgdrpue7s2lirm/post/3ltmzavjycs2h

Nell stands in the doorway.

NELL

They are so going to steal your kidneys. God, this is stupid.

ALLYSON

The guy already gave me three hundred dollars. He said to keep it whether I show up or not.

NELL

All the more reason not to go! You swindled some money out of this creep. Isn't that good enough?

ALLYSON

No. Because I can take even more of this creep's money if I go play hide the sausage with his wife and him.

Allyson winks at Nell in the mirror.

NELL

Your organs and dignity have got to be worth more than this.

ALLYSON

I told you to stop freaking out! I did my research-- which reminds me, you should see their cringey ass Facebook page. Far as I can tell, they're just a rich Boomer couple looking to spice up their loser marriage. Probably just wanna do butt stuff or something.

NELL

You are disgusting. Can you at least promise me you'll get the hell out of there the second you get a bad vibe?

ALLYSON

I promise. And don't worry, I packed plenty of protection.

She opens her purse to show off an impressive array of condoms and lube. Nell laughs.

NELL

And here I thought you were bringing a gun or something.ALLYSON

I'll be fine. There's no way this can be as bad as my prom date with Derrick Borrows. Remember that perv?

NELL

Okay, you have a point. But still, I really mean it. And make sure you text me when you get there.

ALLYSON

Don't worry you'll be the first to know when the bone saws come out.

They both laugh, but Nell's heart's not in it.

ALLYSON (Cont'D)

For real, don't worry. And don't wait up, either!

She snaps her purse shut and departs with a hair flip.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

Allyson's face reflects back her concerned expression on the passenger seat window. Too late for second thoughts.

Beautiful mansions zoom past. An old money neighborhood.

She checks her phone, almost seven o'clock.

The Uber comes to a halt outside a twelve-foot iron gate.

EXT. DELL RESIDENCE - NIGHT

Allyson's finger touches the intercom button attached to the gate security panel. 

She hugs her arms, glances up at the mounted security camera and its angry red light watching her.

A crackle of static and the gate opens.

Allyson takes one look behind her, then strides through the gates and up the walkway to the expansive mansion ahead.

A seven-foot solid oak door with intricate carvings and wrought iron hinges greet Allyson on the front porch.

She tugs at the hem of her short dress, then knocks.

Thrilled to see GERMINATION advance in the Emerging Screenwriters Horror Screenplay Competition. I received so much amazing feedback and guidance through the Athena Film Fest workshop, this little boost really puts some fuel in my tanks to keep pushing this story forward. #Scriptsky

Emerging Screenwriters laurel for Horror Screenplay Competition SEMI-FINALIST, 2025Poster for GERMINATION, a feature by Leah Simmons with woman in a cornfield with black splotches on her shoulder. Laurels in top corner for the Athena Film Festival Abortion Pipeline Project and now the Emerging Screenwriter Horror Feature Competition, 2025.

With the features I've written this year: LAST LAUGH = REVENGE THE LOCKSMITH = SURVIVAL REUNIFICATION = FORGIVENESS And looks like for FLYOVER COUNTRY, it's going to be SACRAFICE. (All weirdly timely, no? 🙃) If you had to sum up the theme of your WIP in one word, what would it be? #Scriptsky

I'm always down for a game! And who knows, maybe I can make this EDGE OF TOMORROW serial killer mystery work one of these days. #ScriptSky #Screenwriting #Writing #ThurdPAgThirsday

REGAN

Judging by how quickly she's deteriorating, we've got three hours before she's basically worthless.

EDDIE

You wanna talk to her?

REGAN

No. She seems... fragile. Besides, I don't want to be the reason we have social services to wheel her out.

EDDIE

Alright, I'll see if I can find out something we don't already know.

Regan leans close to the window, scrutinizes Alana.

REGAN (Con't)

We need to know why he picked her.

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY

Cinder block walls painted light blue, harsh overhead lights.

Alana flinches when Eddie enters.

EDDIE

Alana? How you holding up? Can I get you anything?

Alana shakes her head, can't meet Eddie's eyes. He takes the seat across from her at the table, tries to act casual.

He notices the pronounced tremble in her hands.

EDDIE (CoNT'D)

Are you cold?

ALANA

No. I just can't stop shaking. Is that normal?

Eddie offers a sad smile instead of an answer.

EDDIE

I'm officer Simonson, but you can call me Eddie. I just have a few more questions if you're up to it.

It’s a rainy day, which means coffee, writing, and watching The Goonies with my kiddo. 40th Anniversary coming up in June! |

I hate writing when it’s hard and love writing when it’s easy. So I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to make #writing easier. Here’s a 🧵 on the 6 things I do to overcome writer’s block and increase creative productivity. #WritingCommunity #Screenwriting #ScriptSky #Writersky #Authors 🧵1/x

When Pearl snaps, things get done 😉 A former wild west sharp shooter turned thief brings her gang of performing friends back together to rescue a young woman from the clutches of a powerful Deadwood kingpin. No one may want westerns, but they'll want this one. #Wes #LGBTQ #Fea #Screenpit #Scriptsky

Young cowgirl riding a horse with a starburst around her head, PEARL SNAPS. A western feature by Leah Simmons

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

Since this morning's chat was about romance and how none of us in the group write romance... I had to confess that I've written ONE rom com 👀 And the meet cute is in a bathroom 🚽😆 #FunPageFriday #Scriptsky

INT. LADIES RESTROOM

Allie pushes through the door. The stalls are all closed except the wheelchair accessible stall at the far end.

ALLIE

Hello? Ma'am? Is everything okay?

A low, grumble comes in reply.

Allie enters the last stall to find KEEGAN (40s, M) propped up in the gap between the toilet and the wall. He looks like someone put The Dude from The Big Lebowski in a suit that's one size too small.

ALLIE

Sir, do you realize you're in the Ladies' Room?

KEEGAn

Huh? Guess that explains why I couldn't find the urinal.

ALLIE

I need you to leave.

KEEGAN

I'm good. It's quiet... nice cool floor. That doesn't move... much...

He rests his head on the toilet seat and closes his eyes.

ALLIE

Ew! Don't do that! Sir, please don't make this harder than it needs to be.

Keegan flashes a flirty smile.

KEEGAn

What if I like it hard?

ALLIE

Then the two security guards on duty will be more than happy to assist you the hard way.

KEEGAn

Are they as cute as you are?

ALLIE

Oh, they're even cuter.

If I wrote a screenplay with an unelected billionaire taking control of government systems after a military helicopter crashed into a passenger jet and went down into the Potomac, they’d be related. #ScriptSky #USpol

Just worked with a writing coaching client, & applied some of Aristotle's Poetics to a half hour comedy pilot, & we gained useful, actionable insights. Very old school and very cool. #writing #ScreenwritingCoach #ScriptSky #screenplay #ComedyWriting #TVWriting #ComedyPilot #AmWriting #WritingTips

I set out to write 5 comedy sketches yesterday. And I did write 5 comedy sketches yesterday. May not be brilliant, or funniest, but I like them and I’m really glad with everything happening this week I was able to do it. #SketchComedy #screenwriter #ScriptSky #Scriptodon #comedy #script #writing

Not sure if they are the most brilliant, or the funniest, but I like them and I’m really glad with everything happening this week I was able to do it.

🧵7/x One thing the interested agent told me was the importance of having a platform to promote the book. So I figured I’d talk about the process of writing a book and getting published when you’re a noob AND talk about being a TV writer… #Scriptsky #Booksky #WritingCommunity #Writing

🧵1/x I moved out to LA in 04. I had no job prospects, no connections, and no idea what the hell I was doing! I wanted to be a TV writer and that’s what I’ve done for the past 15 years. Along the way, I made a ton of mistakes. Enough to fill a book… #Scriptsky #Booksky #Writing #WritingCommunity

#Introduction I’m a TV writer on Big City Greens. I started as a writers’ assistant and digital writer on #TheOffice. I’ve staffed on lots of other shows you probably haven’t seen, but I did write THE Barbie movie… Barbie and Chelsea: the Lost Birthday. #ScriptSky #Writing #Scriptwriting #Animation
