“When will so and so cast POC in their films?” Never. Stop asking this of them and instead give your support and money to the actual POC writers and directors already intentionally creating stories for us. We don’t need white male “auteurs” to validate us or our stories.
@ScriptsByJames And it used to be you just needed a great SPEC of a show ALREADY ON AIR. Making a show from scratch wasn't even thought about for beginners. The bar is constantly rising, and it's no surprise it's also at the time more POC are entering the game.
Oh and did I mention that one of those characters I created is in a wheelchair? And so is the talented actress who will be portraying her? #DisabilityWrites #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #LeverageRedemption

Here's the thing, I bet you that showrunner did tell him that. Not because it's true BUT bc it's easier for reps/agents/showrunners to lie to white men blaming POC/women/LGBTQ+ for them not being hired THAN to tell them the truth. They are mediocre assholes who can't cut it.

Hollywood rejections be like “we loved your script! unfortunately, your story has a river in it and we’ve already got a water-based project!”
“True Detective” has been renewed for Season 5 at HBO. Issa López, creator of “True Detective: Night Country,” will helm it under her new overall deal with HBO. Season 4 is the most-watched installment of the show to date, with 12.7 million cross platform viewers.…
I said what I said 🤷🏽♀️😁
"Studios want projects to be female-led but not set in the female point of view." - A co-worker summing up the issue with many recent female-led projects pretty beautifully.
SO. EFFING. GREAT.
The only questions I need answered after the True Detective season finale are what was Qavvik's and Navarro's meet-cute and how soon can we get a prequel rom-com @IssitaLopez ??? #TrueDetectiveNightCountry

I guess I kinda just want real people to make art. I want stories to be the result of humans synthesizing their life experiences. I want the writing to take time. I want the result to be proof of work. I don't want it to be easy. I want it to be imperfect. I want less noise.

Looks like Bluey only has one writer but I think for shits and giggles I will write this spec anyway. I’m surprised they have not done an episode like this already tbh
We watched it together. It’s a good one. Part of me actually wants to write a Bluey spec about a new pup at school who uses a wheelchair but… I don’t write animation & I definitely don’t write for kids so it’s like, what’s the point? But I’d love for them to do an ep like that

“When will so and so cast POC in their films?” Never. Stop asking this of them and instead give your support and money to the actual POC writers and directors already intentionally creating stories for us. We don’t need white male “auteurs” to validate us or our stories.
@ScriptsByJames And it used to be you just needed a great SPEC of a show ALREADY ON AIR. Making a show from scratch wasn't even thought about for beginners. The bar is constantly rising, and it's no surprise it's also at the time more POC are entering the game.
A month after I left this arrangement (which was a tough decision to make!) I got staffed on a network drama w that sample. So I’m a big proponent of believing in yourself & taking freelance jobs on the side if it means you can stay on track w your idea!
"We loved your spec... but we don't want to make it. We would love to hear your take on our Chutes and Ladders movie. Pay is deferred, and it's a bake off between 30 writers." @Becca__Noble accurately on the state of the industry.
#QuietOnSet @ChristySMann For clarity: We (the female writers) reported, advocated for others, navigated abuse, sacrificed and lost a lot - the behind the scenes work we've done was not the story so hold your blame. Happy women's history month - little has changed.
Just heard from my manager that TITS UP is out to the town, folks. It’s real.
@ReallyMighty @Disabled_Desi Those of us with disabilities have been banging on this door forever. I have heard “We already have a show with a disabled character”? What other community would they have the temerity to say this about? Until we have more execs w/#Disabilities we will be boxed out.
Oh and did I mention that one of those characters I created is in a wheelchair? And so is the talented actress who will be portraying her? #DisabilityWrites #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #LeverageRedemption
Total pinch me moment watching audition tape of actors portraying characters I created and saying lines I wrote for a real episode of an actual TV show that will begin shooting Monday! #LeverageRedemption #DisabilityWrites

@KellyLynnKrause @joshbarkey I am always going to be the first person to consider if a disability plays a role when seeing typos, etc. All of us are learning how to improve our craft as we go. I would hope that someone would be encouraging and suggest free ways to clean up their script. 1/2
