Olga has done so much to help my friends. It’s baffling. But they truly could use all the help they can get because recovery is going to take years. If you’re looking for ways to help a family who lost everything in the LA fires, consider my writing partner and his wonderful family. #FYC

Photo from the upcoming film IT ENDS. Three actors sit in a Jeep Cherokee looking lost on an endless road in the woods.

So delighted to have IT ENDS premiering in competition at SXSW! I can’t wait for people to see the movie, and meet a bunch of exciting new actors, producers, and writer/director Alex Ullom!

Thanks dude! Very excited for the world to see it!

Please Hold

Not looking forward to the LA fires season of Selling Sunset

If you were affected by the LA fires and need supplies near Burbank, head to Local 80 at 2520 w olive Ave suite 200, Burbank ca 91505.

They are ready to help!

The CATS cg technology is just sitting there. What’s stopping us from using it for a courtroom drama or a sexy Naval thriller?

Time for my annual “I don’t have an active deadline tomorrow, I’d love to play a video game” itch. What are your picks for ps4 (cause I only play once a year)? Should I just finish Horizon Forbidden West? I bought God of War last year during the it h but haven’t played yet. What else?

“Incorporating AI” should never exit the lips of a union. Placing the onus on the writer to fight against such requirements will result in said writer not getting the job. We can do better & must. WGA fought against bad terms, so can you. I’m a member of both unions & will strike again if need be.

“Get in losers. We’re getting polio.”

Oh cool, who played Johnny Lang’s character in that one?

A classic. Hard to beat Jim Carrey fighting himself

I’ll count it!

Wow never even heard of it. Love a first reply mystery.

What’s the best “Bad Dad” movie?

no buying from Amazon tomorrow through Monday folks — crossing picket lines is for chumps

Agreed. And it’s lining their fucking pockets, baby!!

No shade to therapy, but whoever came up with “everyone should go to therapy” is a marketing genius. If you think people don’t need it, you’re a bad person. Wow. Even religion doesn’t get this kind of broad acceptance. I even qualified this whole dumb thought so you wouldn’t think I’m bad!

Already feeling the itch* to put this new app down and back away.

Yikes

Happy to admit if I’m wrong and these competitions connected him to this sale. I just see so many writers put all their hopes into competitions that are happy to take their money and give them nothing but laurels. They aren’t the gatekeepers people think they’re paying to get past
