Hit 100 pages on my outdoor writing, so... that's something. #scriptsky

The amazingly generous @tclairsmith.bsky.social created this fantastic poster for OBEAST, the campy 1980s horror homage written by Rod Thompson and me.

A zany body horror flick your Mom would toss her popcorn over!

Here's the poster, the logline, and the "one pager"

For filmmaker Adam Zheng Yuan, entering the Short Film Fund was about more than funding. He saw it as a platform for quality cinema and distinctive indie voices. Hear Adam talk about his Spring Season Finishing Funds-winning film! #scriptsky #scriptsky+ #screenwriting #shortfilm

Another day, another wild longshot of a submission pitch.

Congrats to all the semifinalist and second-rounders in Austin Film Fest. Welcome to the family! Here is page one of my second rounder from last year. Which seeded a feature being prepped for next year’s event.

Congratulations Lynn! #scriptsky

Tori realising the person who should have helped was her - as she and Crow find themselves trapped in a caravan about to go no place good in my Australian thriller FAR AS THE CROW FLIES. Wolf Creek meets The Breakfast Club.

Worked my way through 4 pages on the action-comedy spec today

Midpoint is in sight!

Write now, edit/polish later

"Wish gone wrong." That simple epiphany Curry Barker had was the key to unlocking the story for the movie Obsession. That is an example of a "hook" and a key to the success of a spec script. From a Deadline article on Barker and the hit horror movie. www.patreon.com/GoIntoTheSto... #scriptsky

This isn’t even the craziest kill in the script but it’s one of the most fun of BAD LUCK LUCY.

Oh wow. That’s very nice of them.

I screwed up and sent an old draft so that’s on me. Still very encouraging. #scriptsky

SInce this silly thing caught some good fortune this week, I'll flog it again for #FirstPageFriday.

THREE WISE MEN -- Three bumbling buddies lost in the Mexican desert on Christmas Eve team to help a pregnant young woman trying to hike to Texas before she gives birth in the wilderness.

A #firstpagefriday from myself... A blissful couple pick up more than they bargained for on the road:

Carjacked at gunpoint, Sarah's fiancé is taken. But what she doesn't know is that the kidnapping is a lie. Her fiancé is a lie.

Guess the cat's out of the bag 👀

My quirky rom com feature about a talking severed head is an AFF Semi-Finalist!!! #scriptsky

Sometimes the best way to make a story feel real is to let the people making it bring a little of themselves to the page. THE INVITATION is a great example of how collaboration between writers and cast can shape a film in unexpected ways. #scriptsky #scriptsky+ #screenwriting #filmfact #filmmaking

A first draft first page for #FirstPageFriday! From my horror feature work-in-progress CONFINEMENT. I love where Act III in this is going, I just need to get all the pages in between written so I can get there! #ScriptSky

We've been reading this in 10 page chunks with the writer's group and it's been so much fun. Just wait until things get really steamy in the coming weeks 😉 #Scriptsky #FirstPageFriday

Writers, we need to talk about failure. It's not evidence you don't belong—it's proof you're doing the necessary work of finding your voice. Every "failed" script is actually a step toward the work that will define your career. Keep going.
