YouTube video by Netflix Haunted Hotel | Official Trailer | Netflix

Hi! It has been an embarrassingly long time since I’ve logged on, but I wanted to share what I’ve been up to for the past 2 years— working as supervising director on a new Netflix series, Haunted Hotel! Check out the official trailer below and watch it on Sep. 19!

WOW. Ok, well, everything is better animated, so I'm actually weirdly excited about this. Could Twilight be GOOD???

A Delightful Netflix Cartoon…About the End of the World?! Even if a comet were heading rapidly towards Earth, the new animated curiosity “Carol & the End of the World” would be worth your time.

What would you do if you knew the world was ending in the near future?

Despite its broadly familiar premise, the animated limited series "Carol & the End of the World" admirably diverges from genre convention and narrative expectations.

Such an amazing little miniseries. Please watch it!

When I worked on this in 2021, I told Dan Guterman that I waited my whole life to work on a project like this, and that wasn't an exaggeration. Look out for "Carol & The End of the World" this December! It is truly a rare and special gem.

One big takeaway from the WGA strike is that the AMPTP was acting like they were an inevitable force that would steamroll the writers and replace them with AI regurgitations, right up until the moment they folded and gave the WGA almost everything they asked for. TAG take notes

One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*

Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*

Our strike was necessary.

Our strike was effective.

Our strike is a victory.

If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, it’s ‘cause they never want to see us stand up for ourselves again.

Don’t believe it.

We won this fight.

We’re the WGA, and when we fight, we win. #WGAStrong

I tried that once and it took me three hours to get home.

I have too many things to do and think about so I’m gonna go to sleep.

Tell me where you're from with a food pic.

If you mention liking a cartoon around animation people 80% of the time they suddenly go silent. Later you learn half the crew died making it and the creator is a serial grandma puncher. It's crazy!

Some spooky paintings to get the vibes going. I do love the “big thing in sky that shouldn’t be there” approach to creepy art!

I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Very important for new users or returning users!! 🚨🚨

Honestly have no idea if I will use this, but it's nice to have!
