If you’re a filmmaker at work today, remember, good job is just that thing you do for money.

Filmmaking is your passion. So define yourself as such.

YOU ARE A FILMMAKER.

[Gabe Braxton @gabebraxton]

I’m not aspiring to be anything

I’m a screenwriter
I’m a director
I’m a filmmaker

I put in the work so I AM

Write that script. Every first draft is a first draft.

[Jack Cressall @JackCressall]

Screenwriting is more than telling a story - it's about evoking a feeling, tapping into memories, and making audiences feel seen. Here's to crafting worlds that leave a mark.

Writing is 10% inspiration and 90% pushing through self-doubt. Every draft, every rewrite is progress. Keep going - the story will find its way.

📚Writing characters that feel like old friends and bitter rivals is my kind of therapy. How do you breathe life into your characters? #ScreenwritingCommunity #CharacterDevelopment

When in doubt, remember that rewriting is where the real magic happens. First drafts are meant to be messy, but the second, third, and fourth? That’s where the story finds its soul.

@MovieEndorser Chinatown everyday, all day. A true masterpiece.

[Jack Cressall @JackCressall]

🎬 Kicking off the week with my protagonist facing a choice that could change everything. Isn’t that the beauty of storytelling? We put our characters through the wringer, and in the process, we find our own perspective shifting, too.

✨ A little Sunday reminder: keep writing, even if it’s just a single sentence. Every word is a step closer to your story’s end. #AmWriting #SundayThoughts

@MovieEndorser Identity all day

[Jack Cressall @JackCressall]

Just finished my vomit draft! 90 pages of pure chaos, plot holes, and dialogue that sounds like it was written by a sleep-deprived raccoon. Time to polish this beautiful mess! #Screenwriting #VomitDraft #SendHelp

@TheOscarRace Chinatown, without a doubt!
