Some craft talk for fellow writing geeks. creativescreenwriting.com/monica-beletsk…
#SleepingDogs is a gripping thriller about Roy Freeman with a fractured memory, forced to revisit a decades old murder case he can’t remember. As he pieces together the clues, a prisoner languishes on death row. #AdamCooper @russellcrowe tinyurl.com/33vvxxxj
Taking a common childhood experience and cranking up the fear factor is all about tapping into something relatable and then twisting it in a way that unsettles viewers. @jeffwadlow @jasonoremland @gregerb @ImaginaryFilm @blumhouse @Lionsgate tinyurl.com/ytxd4zbj
I thought that was a wonderful way to have this female Archie Bunker who, is prescribed as a common conceit who’s going against the grain of conventional progressivism. #AbeSylvia #PalmRoyale @AppleTV tinyurl.com/36pd8w3k
Here's part 2 of our series on #writing loglines using the #movie #Ferrari as an example tinyurl.com/yc4xh8pj
If you fight change, you’re going to lose. So you go for a ride. And you’ll end up doing things you never thought you could do. Things you couldn’t even imagine. So you learn as you go. #TheNeonHighway tinyurl.com/4n7kkhhv

Proud to announce my latest article for @CreativeScreen has published. This is Part One of a series on the elements of a story necessary to describe the central conflict. For my example, I break down the film #Ferrari #masteringthelogline creativescreenwriting.com/9-components-o…
Oftentimes, truth is just a point of view of our memory of things in the past. Our recollections of them are not oftentimes exactly how they occurred. #AdamCooper talks #SleepingDogs @russellcrowe tinyurl.com/33vvxxxj
A lot of what my responsibility is as a black filmmaker is to try to tell stories that reflect this more contemporary insidious racism, as opposed to just telling the story about endemic racism in 1955. @KobiLibii #TheAmericanSocietyOfMagicalNegroes tinyurl.com/5fyv2vnm
I love how the season progresses and that Maxine has no idea that, not only is this thing she wants completely absurd, but by wanting it, her circumstances become even more absurd. #PalmRoyale tinyurl.com/36pd8w3k
The movie industry has never been stagnant for more than a year or so. So you can’t fight it. You have to adapt. And that’s what a lot of music people are doing. #TheNeonHighway tinyurl.com/4n7kkhhv

I think that the kernel of Maxine’s character is this bull in a china shop in high heels. That was really the jumping off point. And then from there, I just let my imagination run wild. #PalmRoyale @AbeSylvia tinyurl.com/36pd8w3k
One of the things I hope for in the film is a more sophisticated conversation around what racism is - @KobiLibii #TheAmericanSocietyOfMagicalNegroes tinyurl.com/5fyv2vnm

Each country music song is a story. It has a beginning, middle, and end. I think we responded to that. And I think the audience responds to that as well. #TheNeonHighway #WilliamWages #StrattonLeopold tinyurl.com/4n7kkhhv

Was very happy to have this line from #BetterCallSaul Pimento quoted in a @Jeopardy answer. (Pics from: @breaking_frames)
Masaki Kobayashi’s HARAKIRI (1962) is a fierce evocation of individual agency in the face of a corrupt & hypocritical system. See it in 35mm tomorrow night at the Aero! ⚔️🎞️ March 28th at 7:30 pm. americancinematheque.com/now-showing/ha… @janusfilms
GOT CLASS? Why, yes, we do. Check out @ScriptAnatomy's upcoming feature & tv writing classes: scriptanatomy.com/class-calendar/
If you've never seen or read NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, I highly recommend doing either or both. Stone cold classics.
For those unfamiliar, NIGHT OF THE HUNTER was based on a novel that was *MUCH DARKER* than the 1950s would allow. Very excited about this project and thrilled we can finally talk about it.
Congratulations to @cordjefferson, recipient of the WGAW 2024 Paul Selvin Award in recognition of his writing of American Fiction! awards.wga.org/awards/awards-…
Pretty certain we're going to get excoriated on the internet today, but thanks to all of you who have faith in us and trust us to be respectful of a film and book we both consider to be classics in their own right. Much love to you all.
#GodzillaxKongTheNewEmpire: Adam Wingard delivers a blast of a film. Attention paid on the monsters, Kong & Godzilla really feeling like the leads. Dan Stevens having the time of his life. The fight choreo & camera moves incredibly well in fully CGI sequences. Truly a fun flick!!

Wherever this finds you, friends: keep showing up. This continues to be a very challenging time across the entertainment industry for most & there’s no getting around that’s frustrating & disappointing after all we’ve surivived & fought for. But together, we get through this. 1/2
@tbhattacharya @CreativeScreen Thank you! My goal was to prioritize people over the job.

We’ll be streaming 14 episodes of #EVIL in a row starting in May. We may even throw in some home movies because “content” is “content.” Wally and Aasif show their excited faces for me directing.
A smart Showrunner once said: People will one day not remember the show or what it was even about but they will remember how you made them feel. ❤️That’s the kind of person you want to work for. @RasheedNewson
#EVIL. We just started shooting the last four. Kurt is thrilled.
Finally saw #Dune2 it was great. The subwoofers got a workout.
