Guess the cat's out of the bag 👀

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

Headless over Heels and a headless mannequin with AFF Semi-Finalist laurels.

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

OVER BLACK
Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump. 
A tiny, human heartbeat. It gets bigger. 
And faster. 
And faster. 
Until it’s drowned out by the sound of someone breathing. Ragged. Desperate. Terrified.
Slowly fade up on:
EXT. FLORIDA BACKWOODS - NIGHT
A dark night with no moon and a WOMAN is crashing through the dense undergrowth. 
Her hair, damp with sweat, tangles on branches. Thorns tear at her skin and vines catch her bare feet. 
She is HEAVILY PREGNANT.
She looks behind, terrified of an unseen pursuer, except for their BOOTS - black and heavy - are coming down hard on top of the same undergrowth that is slowing her down.
Finally, up ahead of her, she can see HEADLIGHTS - a road! She speeds up, stumbles, but keeps going on hands and knees until she BREAKS THROUGH THE BRUSH to the edge of the asphalt.
She can see another car approaching, still a long way off. She struggles to her feet, clutching her swollen belly. She opens her mouth to scream for help when--
A PAIR OF LARGE HANDS IN LEATHER WORK GLOVES wrap around her mouth and her waist and drag her, kicking and screaming BACK INTO THE DARKNESS.
The car speeds by, seeing nothing.
EXT. I-10 EAST OF TALLAHASSE - DAY
A sedan with Ohio plates speeds along the highway, roof paint peeling under a beating sun.

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

Black and white image of a woman pulling a man into a kiss with text ALT + LVR A feature by Leah SimmonsI N T . U P S C A L E R E S T A U R A N T - N I G H T 1
Delicate fingers fidget with a gold wedding ring.

a corner table. Fragile like a bomb, not a flower, she
glances at her last sent text:
ELLIE (TEXT)
Reservation is under Eric Fischer.
Ellie is the only person seated by herself in the sea of
suits and little black dresses, so she glows as the HOST cuts
b e t w e e n t h e t a b l e s w i t h R O R Y ( 3 0 s ) i n t o w .
Even though he looks the part in his fresh haircut and
expensive suit, Rory doesn't move with the confidence to
belong in a place with sixty-dollar appetizers.
All the same, Ellie stands with open arms when he arrives.
ELLIE
Eric! I was getting worried.
Rory kisses her on the cheek before they both sit.
RORY
Sorry I'm so late--
ELLIE
You're good. Here, I ordered your
favorite. Said it was their last
bottle, lucky us!
RORY
I definitely feel lucky.
She hands him a glass of red and they both sip in silence.
Rory's eyes look past Ellie to the surrounding tables.
Everyone stares at him. The COUPLE nearby whispers...
His eyes dart back to Ellie, then to her low-cut dress.
ELLIE
Did you have any questions?
RORY
No, it was pretty straightforward. Is
the beard alright? How about the suit?

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.

Here's a bit of a different #FirstPageFriday page. This is from the journal entries that my players can find tonight in our role-playing game when exploring the crypt.
#Scriptsky

A page from a journal for my role-playing game tonight.  The text reads:

5/08/70
We’re flying out to Iraq tomorrow morning.  I am eagerly awaiting this expedition!

5/12/70
We have successfully landed in Baghdad after a few delays. Fighting in the region meant that we had to remain in Istanbul for an additional day.  Not that I minded!  Istanbul is an amazing city!  I could have easily spent weeks there exploring its art and culture.
[Written in pencil:]  Ha! If only I had stayed in Istanbul and missed this damned expedition!

5/12/70
I have arrived in Baghdad. The city itself is beautiful.  Looks like it’s been spared from the fighting. We will have the day to get acclimated here and then the expedition commences tomorrow.  We lost the extra day because of the layover. 

6:45pm
There was a letter slid under my door when I arrived back at the hotel from dinner.  How very ominous! It is a warning regarding tomorrow’s expedition. It claims there is a conspirator among us that seeks to sabotage the entire group. The signature is a symbol which I will try to replicate here.  I do not know any meaning behind this symbol, but I will research it when I get back to London.

Is the score you get on your screenplay actually important or is it really about the notes?

Here is the first page of THE IRREGULARS for #FirstPageFriday! I got this out to tinker with it a couple weeks ago and haven't had time since. I was thinking: do I need to have more of a grabby prologue/teaser scene first instead?🤔
#Scriptsky

The first page to the script THE IRREGULARS.  

NT. BEDROOM - DAY
DAD (MID 40's, BOOKWORM, GLASSES AND THINNING HAIR) is packing
his suitcase.
He picks up a child's drawing: a man and a little girl holding
hands. "Daddy's Girl" written in crayon.
His smiles briefly, then remembers. It's a hard day when a
family falls apart. He tucks the drawing in his valise.
He examines one last item: a mug emblazoned with 'Starman'
and a distinctive STAR EMBLEM on the mug.
MOM (EARLY 40's, AGING BETTER THAN HER HUSBAND) appears in
the doorway. She's doing her best to keep it together.
MOM
Cab's here.
The mood is far from cordial. He nods, puts down the mug.
DAD
Where's Holly? I want to say good--
MOM
Outside.
EXT. FIELD BESIDE THE HOUSE - DAY
HOLLY HALEY (15) stands with her back to her world falling
apart and basks in the afternoon sun. She wears a sleek
superhero costume that today doubles as a suit of armor:
'Daddy's Girl' is losing her father.
HOLLY
C'mon. Heroes don't cry...
She sniffs back tears and wipes at her eyes. She types out
a quick text: 'Meet up at Tess's'.
WHOOSH! A gust of wind sends her black cape billowing.
THE FRONT PORCH
The Driver loads the suitcases into a yellow taxi and closes
the trunk. Her Dad turns to the field.
ON HOLLY
Earbuds in her ear, Holly changes her soundtrack to something
else: something exciting, something inspiring.
