Just another reminder that this is happening later this week, so if you're coming to AFF and see a weirdo with a bowling bag with a head inside (that's me)-- flag me down for a sticker! 😁 And come out for the table read #Scriptsky #Filmsky

If you're new to #Scriptsky and are like, what the heck is a #SpecScriptShoutout? It's basically a way to signal boost peer scripts you're recently read. Peer feedback is crucial to improving your work and a great way to build a network of other writers. I'm going to try to do more shoutouts

name a perfect album from the 1980s. I nominate these two.

Wow wow wow wow… How women can collapse the economy😉

You don't have to do this, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. It's a choice. They want to defund you. They think you're a propaganda arm of an evil government. You will never win them over by showing them grace when they show absolutely none towards you.

I'm keeping this special going for the time being. If you're interested in one of these send me a DM.

I can finally share some exciting news! 🎉 I've signed a shopping agreement for my female-driven comedy with @ashlazer.bsky.social! I'm so excited that he believes in me and my writing, and I can't wait to see where this takes us.

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

It's called a corrigendum, maybe you've erred of it.

Total chaos in Russian cities after Ukraine's strikes on just two Yandex data centers wipes out GPS, payment systems, taxi apps and the largest websites, across the country. Russia's centralized North Korean style internet is the country's weakness, they are fucked.

Managed a 7 for my second Black List evaluation of FAR AS THE CROW FLIES, in which four young Americans take jobs on the wrong Australian orchard - so here's a page for #scriptsky #FirstPageFriday

Danes are good at public sculpture that mock oppressors. "Grisebrønden (Well of Pigs)", Aarhus, by Mogens Bøggild was installed in 1941 during Nazi occupation. They told the Germans that it was to celebrate industry (pork is big in Denmark), & the parable of the Prodigal Son, who lived among swine.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Basing the rest of the tree in changed the contrast balance, so deepening shadows & lightening highlights as the tree leafs out. The contrast between the solidity of the tower & the softer, pointillist tree is evident. In progress: "Tower (block)", oil on canvas, 12x16" #wip #painting #canadianart

Sunday morning entertainment. Guinness and Mills are absolutely wonderful in this underappreciated classic

Hello friends, like many, a part of me wants to die when doing the old self-promotion thing, but my new series WINTER starts on ITV next Wednesday. Eek! It's been my life for most of the last 18 months, and now, suddenly, here it is going out into the world. Tell your friends/RT and well, enjoy!

When I lived in the U.S. (many years ago), I read about Border Patrol officers vandalising water stations in the desert - and that always stayed with me. Who does that? When I started writing, that became one of the kernels for DUST ON DIRT #screenpit #scriptsky

This script honestly started as a killer robot story, then I hit page 60 and realized how boring and overdone that was. So I did a page one rewrite of something earnest and vulnerable about how we fully heal from loss and the power of sexual fulfillment in a relationship. #Scriptsky #Screenpit

NO GHOSTS TONIGHT by Adele Smaill In a bid to get home, a young exile forces her way aboard an inflatable dinghy full of asylum seekers, who must band together to evade capture and survive a deadly Channel crossing. I wish this one wasn't topical, but it is. #Screenpit #Scriptsky #Fe #Dr #Thr

New comments on Stealing Spielberg: “I absolutely loved the script. It’s a true callback to what a 80’s summer coming-of-age story should be. So many great twists — the comedy hits everywhere. And then the ending with Henry just blew me away.” Producers wanna read? 👀 #scriptsky #screenwriting

BODYSLAM! When his mother is kidnapped during the world’s biggest wrestling event, a twelve-year-old fan teams up with a band of superpowered wrestling legends to save her and stop a citywide catastrophe. #ScreenPit #ScriptSky #Fea #Ad #Co #Ac #Fa

This totally started at a joke script after Dusty and I joked about being being way too serious about cornhole while we were camping 😂 Would make a bonkers short for an ambitious director looking for a festival darling! #Filmsky #Scriptsky #ScreenPit
