@kyalbr Well, this thread just made my year. I teach at a film school and this is now the basis for all my teaching. Thanks for putting into words what so many of us think.

I have become addicted to assembling Lego's. I do it alone now. No kids. I do it after they go to bed and listen to books or watch documentaries while I do it. I can’t stop.

Everyone go see @VengeanceFilm when it opens, please.

So excited to be on this list with my animated short The Ghostodians 👻 Thanks @TheScriptLab @Coverfly and @nycmidnight for the inspiration. Repping it for animation! @Pixar just saying…

Took a little time away from toiling away on screenplays to do a little painting. ”L’Eglise Cachée”, watercolor and acrylic.

Continuing my painting odyssey...I did this for a fellow #filmmaker to celebrate his world premiere of his sophomore feature #houseofinequity! It was set to premiere at @gcfilmfestival before COVID-19 got in the way.
