In a movie, the audience notices action first. Movement captures our eye, and then we process the meaning of that action. We want to duplicate that in our screenwriting. That means: 1. Describe the action. THEN. 2. The meaning of the action. 𝗦𝗼, 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳…

Speech-to-text at it again! "Oh my God, my mom just delivered petit fours" turned into "oh my God, my mom just delivered pedophiles." She's a great mom. 🥰

Speech-to-text particularly aggressive today. "Can you help me punctuate this" turned into "Can you help me punch you in the face." Blood will be shed over proper grammatical structure! 🩸

My screenwriting partner and I are working on putting together a two-hander right now. These are some of my favorite movies to write (and watch!) Allow me to use recent smash hit Deadpool & Wolverine to demonstrate 3 two-hander fundamentals (don't worry, no spoilers!) 1/12

I live to hear the new gigs recorded by my voice actor neighbor. Soooo much better than having a neighbor who maniacally laughs for no reason.

Action lines are the primary area of friction in your screenwriting. That's where a reader gets bored, loses interest, and skips. Yet 99% of screenwriters still don't give them enough attention. Here are five (really) simple ways to improve your action lines right now. 👇

as a writer-director who a) genuinely loves making pitch decks & b) has been told their decks are excellent, here’s a guide to how I structure & create mine (TV & film) 🧵 COVER PAGE: one image that captures the project + project title + name/s of writer and/or director

Horror writers, submit to THE DEAD LIST. @AshLazerWrites mentions a writer signed with Heroes & Villains. Need another reason? A Director with a HULU movie requested my script GABLE a year after the 1st list came out. What if he likes it? What happens next? Submit & find out!

4-6 months to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor. Please explain, because I'm sorry, what? Come again? I can't hear you (but maybe in 4-6 months I will...). (* my issue isn't really that bad, but damn, if it was, that's a scary amount of time to wait)
