Got an 8 on @theblcklst for one of our long-standing feature scripts IMPULSE CONTROL. We've come incredibly close to getting this movie made over the years, so I'm especially grateful for the recognition that this story still resonates as strongly as ever! https://t.co/ip6X1zBuFB

As the year wraps, I took a moment to reflect on the creative work, collaborations and momentum that shaped the past year—and what I’m carrying forward into 2026—in a new blog. Check it out! https://t.co/nEA0qLbrRe

And Happy New Year, y’all!✨

When CONCIERGE won @ScriptPipeline's TV Writing Contest years ago, was optioned and almost sold, it felt like the big bang of my writing career. At our managers’ advice, we recently revised it and made @outscreenplays’s Top 15 TV Finalists—once again our “hot spec”!🔥

YOUNG GOODMAN BLOOM is another passion project I recently revised, and the first of my scripts to ever make the QFs of @TheAcademy Nicholl Fellowship, among other accolades. It’s been gaining great traction again with industry peers. Would love to share it with more!

PHASE OUT

A couple determined to keep their friendship intact after realizing they aren’t a romantic match agree to “phase out”—gradually dismantling their relationship instead of ending it outright.

Wasn't able to make it out to #SDCC2025 this year, but some awesome friends are helping spread the word about HEARD with these bad boys! Learn more about my upcoming comic series on @TheStuntList’s Splash Page and check out all the other cool creators in the indie comic showcase!

[Alex George Pickering @AlexGPickering]

Honored to see HEARD featured as an official selection for @TheStuntList's 2025 Splash Page—a showcase of standout upcoming comic books & graphic novels! This survival thriller, inspired by my son and shaped by themes of neurodiversity, has been a true labor of love!🎉 #StuntList

Honored to be a 2025 PAGE Awards Quarter-Finalist alongside my amazing co-writers Matt and Wynna (Lea) for our TV pilot CONCIERGE—one of our proudest scripts, recently revised and stronger than ever! Big congrats to all the fellow writers who made the cut! 🎬✍️🎉

[Alex George Pickering @AlexGPickering]

Thrilled to see FIG among the Most Popular Short Films on @Kanopy—one of my proudest writing projects from my USC MFA days, directed by the one and only Ryan Coogler. First on HBO, it found a final home on Kanopy. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. Still means the world to me.

Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay—a reminder to listen, understand & create spaces where every voice matters. I'm so proud of my son, diagnosed w/ apraxia of speech & non-verbal autism at an early age, for all his triumphs—including inspiring our upcoming comic book series HEARD.

Screenwriters watching beloved contests like ScreenCraft, WeScreenplay and the Nicholl Fellowship disappear or change dramatically one after the other:

[Alex George Pickering @AlexGPickering]

Matt & I have been fortunate to place six times in the Nicholl Fellowship, reaching the top 50 SFs, which led to meetings and option deals. It's an amazing resource. I don't know how this news will affect it, but I do worry when limiting factors are put on the submission process.

BOUNDLESS

A scrappy young fighter from a remote drilling planet gets a rare shot at the Galactic Fighting Championship. To compete, this underdog must defy the odds—and his own self-doubt—to battle giants from across the stars. ROCKY meets STAR WARS.
