This isn’t coverage. It’s a blunt, structural conversation about what the script is actually trying to be and what to do next.

I’m not doing full reads.Send a logline + 1–2 page synopsis, or up to 10 pages max.

Hey screenwriters, if you’ve got a stuck script or idea you’re jammed on, I’ll do a free 20-min Zoom call for 2 people this week. Send me your work and I’ll help you see what’s really blocking your story, what the script actually wants to be, and what to do next.

@ASUFootball I wish Sparky was on both helmets.

If you love Apocalypse Now, Taste of Cherry, and films that dismantle war myths instead of glorifying them, I’d love to share the 30-min short version of my feature Surfing in Afghanistan. DM me.

[RT Herwig @rtherwig]

If Apocalypse Now was rewritten by Kiarostami in the shadow of war, that’s the film I’ve made, Surfing in Afghanistan is a modern antiwar myth. We’ve shot the short. The feature is coming. DM me/reply if you want to see the 30 minute proof-of-concept short. #kiarostami #antiwar

[RT Herwig @rtherwig]

If you love Taste of Cherry. If Apocalypse Now left you changed. If Malick’s silence speaks louder than most dialogue, then we speak the same cinematic language.
And I’d love to connect and share my work with you. #Cinephile #ArtHouseFilm #AntiwarCinema

@jakethornton I thought the same thing, but, yes, it was Tom Sizemore I am thinking of.

My 29 min film Surfing in Afghanistan starring Jaylen Moore from Homeland is a standalone short that’s a proof of concept adapted from 28 pages of my feature screenplay. It’s too long for basic festivals, so where are some places that would appreciate the work. #filmfestivals

The original score for our film Surfing in Afghanistan, composed by Chromosomes, was released on Spotify, Apple Music, and More. Please give it a listen! https://t.co/jw0SBW7iyj

@icecube you won this battle! Go Dodgers!

@THEREAL_DV I still ok. It’s ok. Bringing it back to Dodger Stadium.

…and spelling things out, and leaves a huge void, as audiences (I believe) yearn for rich, immersive storytelling that takes its time to unfold. A reminder that true storytelling lies in the details and the audience’s patience to unearth them.

Modern film's frenetic pace mirrors the rapid consumption of content on social media, prioritizing immediate impact over deeper, lingering narratives. This shift caters to the demand for quick gratification, dumbing things down….
