And now I have notecards on the fridge. That means we're doing this! #screenwriting

I'm looking for utopian films. Input it much appreciated!

#film #cinema #screenwriting #utopia #utopian

From an idea conceived for the first time on Friday to having 24 pages done as I begin writing for the day today. This has been a productive #screenwriting weekend, and I even managed to get a bunch of other stuff done as well.

Sometimes you just catch a wave.

Well biscuits are in the oven, which means a 20 minute writing blitz starts now.

“The power and control we are capable of exerting over one another has always fascinated me, and I think when you force your characters to make difficult decisions in heightened environments you see the worst but also the best of humanity.”

—Rachelle Atalla on dystopia, inspiration, & the difference between writing for page & screen

Transferring from the soon to be closing screenwriting.space. I guess new server should mean new intro.

I'm a #writer, family man, traveler, and all around appreciator of arts and culture.

Going to try to keep this account focused on #writing, #film, and the #arts

Not that I need another project but what if I rewrote Hellspawn as a movie... #screenwriting

#WritersCoffeeClub: 9/7 Share your fav book cover that's not your own.

This totally needs to be adapted as an animated TV series, preferably showrun by

'Stuart Willis talks to philosopher swordsperson Damon Young about how they have applied the lessons they’ve learnt from historical European martial arts (HEMA) to screenwriting. It might sound a bit niche if you don’t write about people hitting each other – or in my case, aliens – with swords, but I promise you that it’s a fascinating listen.'

Thanks to @suw for the shout-out. https://chocolateandvodka.com/2023/06/06/word-count-51-alex-north-webinar-on-thursday-insights-from-sword-fighting-planning-your-writing-year/

How do I BREAK-IN and GET REPPED if I live outside of LA!? This is the number 1 question I get from emerging writers. Well, my writer-friend Nathan Graham Davis did EXACTLY THAT and documented his entire journey!! Check out his YouTube series, Re-Entry, below. It’s a FANTASTIC resource!! #agents #managers #breakingin #screenwriting #film #tv #writing #writingcommunity

So my short #screenplay for #TheOriginalCopy made it as far as the 2nd Round in the Austin Film Festival competition (what other contests call "quarterfinals.") They actually call you up to inform you, which is quite a nice call to get. First dent this one has made, contest-wise. #happy

If you're using AI to write you a hacky film scene, just remember that that AI trained on my hacky film scenes.

When you have a big breakthrough on your script 😃 and then have to work for ten hours rather than tackle your outline. 😠 #screenwriting

Front loading is a thing in #screenwriting and I'm here to tell you - don't do it.

Many years ago William Boyd (the author) was told by a friend of his (a scriptwriter), that the difference between writing a novel & a screenplay was like the difference between swimming in the sea & swimming in a swimming pool.

I wonder how many other areas of creativity also might be described by this metaphorical distinction?
