Thanks for the clarification! Either Sweden or Canada, will be great games but I'm sure if USA vs Canada game 2 would be anywhere near what it was last night, that's the game NHL hopes for.

4 Nations Face-Off Highlights | USA vs. Canada - February 15, 2025

Canada has been booing the US anthem so at puck drop, 3 fights in first 9 seconds of USA vs Canada. Don't watch hockey? You need to! It is exciting & electric. Highlights below.

If Canada wins vs Finland, Canada plays USA again on Thursday.

(1/3) Last year, I partnered with an awesome writer & a director on a cool script to rep as a producer for the Sundance Producers Lab. I ended up at the end as a finalist only. Trying again & looking for any genre screenplays similar to:

No way. You know him? I have tried to find ways to connect with him. We should chat more about this. πŸ™‚πŸ‘

Very true but that's 100% the reason I recommend it. The power of it. Beautifully told but simply tragic. That poor family was failed by many people and it's pretty ridiculous. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Paul!

This one is hard because I love them both. Which filmmaker do you pick to work with? Which film do you love?

Rose Glass: SAINT MAUD & LOVE LIES BLEEDING

Coralie Fargeat: REVENGE & THE SUBSTANCE

Tell me which filmmaker you'd choose & why.πŸ‘πŸ˜

Appreciate the info as I have not been super familiar with how the whole replay assistance thing worked. I like it, but there's been times throughout the season I've felt they should've used it and didn't. Hoping next season some bugs will be worked out as I don't think it's quite there yet.

Watching the @nflbluesky.bsky.social game: LA Rams & @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social. #Rams had to challenge a catch that was called a no catch. I'm wondering, what determines when the #NFLβ€―will offer replay assistance vs making a team throw the challenge flag? Is there an actual system in place? 🏈

In the past, I've hosted group Zoom meetings with filmmakers, executives and financiers from tv/movies like MIDSOMMAR, IT & IT CHAPTER 2, GET OUT, ANNABELLE, HOST, LOOPER, & more with an audience of #screenwriters & #filmmakers to ask career related questions. Who is interested?
