Took my instant camera to set on our last day of filming episodes for That Got Weird. Can’t wait for this show to release. Fans of Whose Line.., Dropout, and general hilarity. #improvcomedy #absurd #indie
On set for a new comedy game show (That Got Weird) I’m working Assistant Directing and cam operator. It’s gonna be pretty awesome. Can’t wait to share more photos/content.
My kiddo (4.5yo) is obsessed with MUSE. They show every friend their music videos and breaks down the meta narrative of them. He is *that* teenage friend who has to show every one the music. I’m going to see muse next month without him. And it feels like a small betrayal. But it’s a late show.
It’s my birthday. I even make the dice wear hats to celebrate. Today Cthulhu Bay (space adventure module) and HellWhalers! It was a great day.
Incredibly honored to be inducted into the @theiwclist.bsky.social membership! Massive shoutout to @bradmjohnson.com for the nomination and to everyone who has followed, helped, and encouraged my screenwriting and filmmaking over the years. Can't wait to see what the future holds! #screenwriter
Guess I’ve been catching up on my dad coded action movies lately. #letterboxdFriday#lastfourwatched
Playing D&D with my 4yo is extremely chaotic yes and-ing with minimal dice rolling and arbitrary rules (”roll a d20 6 times but your attack only works if you get a 10”)
Been really vibing Jeffrey Martin’s ”Thank God We Left the Garden” the past few weeks. jeffreymartinportland.bandcamp.com/album/thank-... And Arcade Fire’s ”We” which is honestly my favorite of all their albums.
Been reading Absolution by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social and using as my book soundtrack. Loving the haunting ethereal vibes lending itself to the unnatural, organic,weird fiction vibes. www.jragsdale.com
My 4 yo wanted to spell Zombie in the bath tonight so I helped him sound it out. “I already have a Z, what other letters do i need.”
Got my snail mail news letter from @leahfromsd.bsky.social - what a delight!
My most listened to albums the last week — pretty much sums up my taste pretty well.
D&D side quest - Heist mini session 1 of 2(?) kicked off last night. The main campaign hired some thieves to break in and steal an item for them. The players rolled up a team of all rogues to pull off the heist. A lot of tension building with them breaking into the vault when we ended the session.
When your chaotic good bard gets a level of warlock with an evil patron. Original Audio from Malört & Savior @malortandsavioril.bsky.social #dungeonsanddragons #dndmemes #dnd #bard #warlock
Laura Gibson showed up as a special guest at the Typhoon 20th anniversary. I love the PDX music scene. #tyhpoon
Been gaming in Eberron. DisplaceRaptor design by Dragon Trappers Lodge.
Great morning read from @bradmjohnson.com! A thrilling crime feature with generational dad trauma explored. Crooked cops, bad dads, broken noses, Shane references, and a shootout in a cabin this one has it all. #scriptsky #indiefilm #screenplay

Some light reading on my way to Austin Screenwriting conference. Thanks for the mood lighting Southwest! #austinfilmfest #scriptsky #horrorwriter #filmsky
Up too early. But for good reason. Off to @austinfilmfest.bsky.social
Finished paper revisions to the latest feature draft of VINES. Now to add it back digitally. #scriptsky
Another festival selection! Vines is headed to Bleedingham October 25th! This is likely our penultimate screening!
