My advice? Fuck a deck. I'm all decked out. Write an outline and sit down and write the script.

The average script page is 225 words. Four pages a day for 12 days, you have a television script. Add another fifteen days, you have a feature. And you're not done. Writing is rewriting. Put it away for another week, and come back with new eyes. I'm not saying it will be any good. Not yet. But it's a start.

Not telling you anything I'm not also doing.

If you put all that energy into a deck and it doesn't sell ---and trust me, most don't, all you have is a nice brochure. At least with a spec, you have something to show for it. Something you can build on.

Stop making excuses. Rip the band-aid off. Working full time? Toni Morrison got up at 3:45 am., wrote from 4 to 6, and then took her kids to school, and then edited books full time. And still managed to write Song Of Solomon, the Bluest Eye, and constant other classics while waiting for her shot.

Don't have a computer? Tarantino, Spike Lee, and Stallone all write by hand, which is something I've gone back to. Moleskine and Paper Mate markers. No distractions, you can do it a anywhere, and when you retype, gives you a second bite at the apple.

(Photograph your pages. If you lose your notebook or spill coffee on it, that's all she wrote.)

Don't start with four pages. Start with one. Fifteen minutes -- you spend longer in the shower, brushing your teeth, and scrolling.

I wish I could give you a shortcut, but I can't. Writing sucks. No way around that. If you box, no one else gonna put in the roadwork, skip rope, hit the bag, or get punched in the face for you. That's your job.

Everybody wants a hug, and to be told it's all going to be okay, and I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is no unwritten script ever gets sold.

As for me? I've got miles to run and pages to hit. Keep going....Always Forward, Forward Always...

MARTY SUPREME (2025). My favorite movie of 2025. Audacious humor, relentless pacing, very sharp about human nature, killer soundtrack, and with an all-timer lead performance. Just a giant joyfully raucous night at the movies. I loved it.

I don’t care how much you believe you ‘revere’ or love an actor- if you use tech to put words in their mouths or move them at your whim, things they never said or did, you were never actually a fan. You wanted to own them. They never ‘belonged’ to you. Grotesque.

We just finished filming season two of Poker Face. What a fucking adventure that was. I’d like to think I’m coming out of it a better writer and human being. I’m also coming out of it about 25 years older but that’s showbiz baby.

Gratitude. On this Thanksgiving I find myself full of it. I'm thankful for the friendships and family that have supported and loved me.

I have decided to make my latest short film Dear Laura available to the public after a short film festival run.
