I wrote the movies IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE (Hulu), and SPACEMAN (Netflix), worked on the TV series For All Mankind (S5 on Apple TV now) and write a newsletter about how writing for hollywood is normal and good
Substack just ranked Hollyweird #6 in Rising Film & TV. Which means now is probably a good time to explain what it actually is. I’m a working studio screenwriter — and I write a free weekly newsletter about what this career really looks like. Once a week. Free. Link in profile.
Here's what my current development slate looks like, if we're only looking at the "active" projects. Meaning, things I could expect to get an email about this week. How many things are "active" right now? I'd say 8-9. Is that sustainable? I don't think so!
Hello #scriptsky! My pal @russellhfilm.bsky.social and I will be going live (on instagram) this weekend to answer any and all Q’s about craft, career, and breaking into the business. Swing on by!

Listen up bud. There’s a — there’s an oligarchy taking shape. And it’s up to the American people — the American people… We gotta do something. We gotta — we gotta... Gotta get some ice cream. Vanilla. Yeah. Vanilla. And God Bless America.

Not a cellphone in sight. Just a person living in the moment, connecting with others. Big smile.
