🏆Humanitas & Shore Scripts Semi-Finalist

So sad I missed this annoucement. Any chance there’s another one in the coming months?

Huge thanks to @pezscreenwriting.bsky.social for including my dramedy pilot “Care Source” in the Maximum Z Winter ‘24 Script Showcase alongside such incredible projects. Thrilled to bits and can’t wait to read some of these scripts.

Psyched to announce that my dramedy pilot “Care Source” made the semi-finals at the Vail Film Festival.

Honored that the story continues to resonate with readers. Huge thanks to the judges and congrats to my fellow semi-finalists! What a way to celebrate my birthday week. 🎂

After screenwriting for 40 years (33 as WGA), I have settled on this process:

1. Cards.
2. Screenplay.
3. Sell project and Trades announcements.
4. Rewrites and Development Hell. Producers occasionally die.

Well, at least there's money in the mix...

What a cool idea!

This gave me goosebumps.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”

We need each other.
