making movies… that’s the wave I’m riding 🌊

@BrooksElms Love the question! But don’t remember exactly when, it was just a moment when I forgot I was writing and I was in a completely different world. It’s the best feeling ever…

.@NASA announced that @SpaceX will provide a 2nd crewed landing demo on the Moon as part of the Artemis IV mission.

With multiple planned lunar landers—from SpaceX & future partners—NASA will be better positioned to accomplish our bold missions. https://t.co/Q4BCuN7Om1

hey Screenwriter,

anxiety comes from concern about the potential lack of the body's primal needs (air, food, relationships, etc...)

peace comes from knowing we are more than just a body

allow your stories to work on both levels

[David Wappel @davidwappel]

I've been screenwriting for 8 years now, a professional reader for the past 5, and a produced screenwriter for the past 3.

Over the next few days, I plan on doing threads on what I see as the biggest missteps in scripts from emerging (and sometimes pro) writers.

Here's 🧵 #1:

[Alex Convery @alexconvery]

Read a script that you love. I almost gave up on the spec that got me repped. Returned to Michael Clayton and channeled that energy.

Control what you can control: write the best you can. Your first 10 pages have to be undeniable.

Other than that? Keep going.

hey Screenwriter

How often do you make a bold choice in your process that requires a deep gut check?

"Has this gone too far?"

"Will this piss people off?"

"Will people cry?"

Go there, my friend

Again and again

If anyone watched Christopher Nolan‘s Tenet, I just took in there’s an Oppenheimer reference in the film. Pretty neat 🤷🏾‍♂️
