Screenwriting Reddit (which I put too much energy into a year ago) in a nutshell:

- Someone with zero produced credits: β€œNEVER do this, you hacks.”
- WGA/produced writers explain why that’s nonsense. Get argued with and downvoted.
- Cycle repeats.

Bless that mod team. I could never. #scriptsky

I'm bringing a business mindset to indie film production.

Working on a project that needs someone who can protect both the creative and financial side of your project while helping actually get it in front of your target audience...

Let's talk.

I have the super talented Cole Sibus attached to THE OPEN AIR, my AFF Finalist indie dramedy about two siblings searching for independence in the backdrop of beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand. It's like LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE x THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON meets HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE. #scriptsky

Interview: Stuntman Buddy Joe Hooker on Why It Took So Long For the Stunt Design Oscar The stunt legend behind hundreds of films on comedy versus dramatic stunts, and why it took so long for the Academy to create an Oscar for stunts.

Buddy Joe Hooker has a stuntman for over 70 years. He recently curated the Criterion Channel’s β€œStunts!” collection, so I talked to him about his career and why it took so damn long to convince the Academy to create a Best Stunt Design Oscar.

Plus: The piece has great stunt clips galore.

T-minus 4 days to production:

Feels like I should ask now so I have time to prepare...

Filmmakers, what is the golden piece of filmmaking advice you've received from someone? The key thing that changed your process for the better.

When breakfast included wine. 1859 Breakfast Menu of New York City Metropolitan Hotel. Hearty fare (e.g., cold tongue, stewed tripe, fried pig’s feet) – all washed down with a 1841 Chateau Margaux (offered as one of several BREAKFAST WINES).

I have a friend that needs money to buy a new pacemaker, so I'm selling some prints!

These 3 are the only ones available (16" x 20"). I only have one of each, but each can be purchased and shipped for $50.

DM to claim, first come, first serve!

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons
