PAUL IS DEAD just got an 8 on @theblcklst! 🎸

An unknown musician, given the break he always craved, must navigate his new life, bandmates, and a devious murder plot to keep his new job: assuming the identity of the recently-deceased Paul McCartney in The Beatles.

Enjoyed watching The Banshees of Inisherin in Galway so much that we just had to go and visit one of the key locations at Keem Beach the next day. A 5 star beach and a 5 star movie - Martin McDonagh can do no wrong! #BansheesMovie

Still in shock that I’m a @PageAwards Finalist for my comedy about a burglar who gets stuck pretending to be Santa when he’s caught by the little girl whose house he’s robbing on Xmas Eve 🎅

Congrats to all of the other amazing writers who also advanced!

Very proud to have made the Honorable Mentions list at @killershorts for "D.O.A." - my 1 page horror script set in the back of an ambulance.
Now, does anyone have an ambulance I can borrow to start filming? 🚑🧟‍♂️
