Your average Twitter Screenwriter, wondering why all the good advice threads have dried up and why most professionals don’t interact with them here anymore.
Pretty cool that my mockumentary pilot, DEATH OF BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO, is an
#AFF
2nd Rounder! A big thank you to everyone who read it and gave notes! It wouldn’t be here without your help.
What’s everyone’s one-season wonder? That show that only got one season, but you know if it had been renewed, it would have eventually found it’s footing?
It’s THE BRINK for me. Great cast, Aasif Mandvi and Jack Black were amazing together. Nuts that HBO canceled it.
Personal story time. My dad died 6 years ago in the woods behind a Target. A lot of UNSOCIAL was influenced by how I was feeling about his death. I just pitched that story in the parking lot of that very Target. No matter the outcome, I’ll hold that pitch close for awhile.

The studio’s A.I. proposal to SAG-AFTRA included scanning a background actor’s likeness for one day’s worth of pay and using their likeness forever in any form without any pay or consent.
It was a no from The Onion this time around, but I couldn’t be more proud of the work I put into this packet! Keep on writing, folks. Get something out of every no.
To those holding their breath, waiting for contest results in the coming days/weeks. You are more than where your script finishes. I promise you that. You finished a script and put it out in to the world. That says so much more about you than where it places!
Got back from LA last night. Thank you so much to everyone who made it an awesome trip! I was nervous as hell meeting folks that have been faces in boxes for the last two+ years, but you all made me feel so welcomed. Will for sure be back soon!
I wish great writers could post the 1st page of a script they broke in with to prove how varied writing style can be, but I’m 104% sure someone on here will roll their eyes and go “THAT got you REPPED?”
So in conclusion, don’t do that.
But I wish you could.

Earning that first writer’s room spot is going to be amazing. But I don’t think anything could beat the feeling I get when I get a genuine giggle from my wife while she’s reading one of my pilots.

I turn in their DNA for their 23 & me data. Also, I create a HS yearbook and sign it as all the different dipshits from their teen years.
I have some spare chunks of time today and want to get the creative juices flowing.
Comment the name of your latest script and the genre and I'll make a beautiful logo for it. It will melt your eyes. A few of my previous endeavors below.

Hey
#pipelinewriters
! I’ve got notes on notes on notes for this upcoming rewrite. I used to hate rewriting but now it’s my favorite part. What’s everyone’s favorite part of writing?
Belched out ten pages of a first draft yesterday on a five-hour drive with a crying two-month old. Let's see if we can get a completed first draft by the end of the week.

Screw all this bickering back and forth.

do you have a five-year plan for your writing career? What should a five-year plan in screenwriting look like?

! I present to you the first page for my latest WIP. Side note, it's kind of taken a backseat to this current rewrite I'm working on.
Who’s been to the movies by themself, and what was the movie?
For me it was Super Troopers 2. One of my favorite experiences in theaters, due solely to the fact it was just me, myself, and I.
