Choctaw Law – Kris Crenwelge
1-hour drama. When a disgraced attorney is forced home after her mother’s mysterious death, she partners with her daughter, a by-the-book litigator, to save her Choctaw community from corrupt developers while uncovering family secrets. #TVsky #Scriptsky
Got Sorkin on the brain this weekend? The Hive just added a bunch of scripts from Studio 60 and The Newsroom (with more to come) — did you know you can search our scripts by writer?

A screenwriting tweetstorm from May 2015 by studio exec Jeff Willis. Pretty much everything a screenwriter needs to know about QUERY LETTERS. gointothestory.blcklst.com/tweestorm-je... #screenwriting #scriptsky
Currently trying to choose the best way to open Page 1 of my next WIP
I have three or four options, and I like them all for different reasons.

From my unfinished feature, A MAN OF SUBSTANCE, which is about a President who has truly united the world, and the mayhem that ensues after a physical exam reveals he is 100% hollow inside
The real world has eclipsed the ridiculousness I had planned, so...
Very much in danger of making a bad guy too likeable, but who doesn't love a scummy vampire that likes to drink blood out of a Garfield mug? #Scriptsky
Well, my friends. Despite our best efforts, the big, dreaded, ominous merger went through. Exactly like I predicted it would #scriptsky
ME AS A KID: I wanna be a doctor and a scientist and an engineer and a lawyer and an astronaut
ME AS AN ADULT AFTER WRITING SCRIPTS ABOUT THOSE JOBS: Wow. I just realized why I'm a screenwriter and not a doctor or a scientist or an engineer or a lawyer or an astronaut

So enjoying reading THE LAST STARFIGHTER.
When Alex finds out he is in fact the last starfighter and he and Grig will face the Ko-Dan Armada alone is as thrilling and fun on the page as it is on-screen.
"Alex: It'll be a slaughter!
Grig: That's the spirit!
Alex: No! My slaughter!"
Inflating your personal story with lies or half-truths is a mistake, full-stop. Occasionally it can get you one level ahead; but the truth always comes out, and when it does, no one will ever take you seriously again.

It’s been a long time since I participated in #FirstPageFriday & I have absolutely nothing new to show for it 😂 So I’ve dipped into the archive for one of my favourite intros I wrote a few years ago for NYC midnight. The script is a mess and needs serious work but I haven’t quit it yet. #Scriptsky
Officially on the schedule!
If you're headed to the Austin Film Festival, get your fill of jokes about severed heads at my live table read Friday morning 🗣️ #Scriptsky #Filmsky #AFF33
My wife is going on an impromptu girls' trip next week, so my “vacation” will be a week of guilt-free daytime writing while the kids are at school (as I rush through all the housework before this weekend just to be safe 😂). It might just be a week of reminding myself how to write. #scriptsky #sahd
Haven’t written anything new, but wishing I could write for these characters again. #scriptsky #funpagefriday
RIP Grand Crew on NBC 🪦
And that's three
