When Tony Gilroy created ANDOR, and Beau Willimon wrote the Emmy nominated episode, 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘖𝘶𝘵, were they preparing us for the rigors of the WGA & SAG-AFTRA strikes?

We hit the breaking point, now there is only the rebellion…

…and this speech.

"Knocked" is a response to a call for shorts for the August MothershipVT monthly film fest. Directed and edited by me, it features the voices of myself and co-writer and -producer @JenniferGennari, and family members. Shot on iPhone, in Porters Point, VT.

@amandadeibert Jurassic Park — 30th Anniversary

[John F Schlag @f_schlag]

The previous writers’ strike gave rise to unscripted — read: reality — tv, which continues to this day. I can’t be the first one to wonder what this strike will enable. Thoughts?

Aperiodic tiles from @MoMath1 as fun on an Amtrak seat tray. Many thanks to @timchartier for this gift, and for hosting my talk on “Math for the Movies — Jurassic Park” last night at the museum in their “Starring Math” series. Check their site for more!

Editing a short film … picking the right music for tone and pacing is … fun! And difficult.

[John F Schlag @f_schlag]

What an inspiring story.

Jessie Maple, who is considered the first Black woman to write, produce and direct a feature-length independent film, broke through many barriers during her multifaceted career. She has died at 86. https://t.co/tNpgvXWlfs

@OnlyFilmMedia @JimCameron It was fun working forCameron on T2. Good experience w/Spielberg on JP. Agreed — very different film.

@kimhornsby 1. Hard to do video editing w/bright backlight.

[John F Schlag @f_schlag]

@OnlyFilmMedia Check out @JurassicPunk, doc by @ScottLeberecht that premiered at SXSW ‘22.

[John F Schlag @f_schlag]

@OnlyFilmMedia I was working on a T-Rex / raptor shot in my office at ILM, on a 21” monitor and thought, this is going to be 40 feet wide on movie screens all over the world - this better be good. Giving a talk at @MoMath1 about JP on 6/20.

[John F Schlag @f_schlag]

@Itzarellawrites It’s about dialogue and music editing, first short I’ve directed.
