Happy to make the 2nd round at Austin with my first adaptation effort -- an LGBT dramatic thriller about a self-medicating writer and a charming detective whose camping date turns dangerous when they encounter a legendary serial killer.

If you’re planning on pitching a series to a network, just remember that you have to add a flashback episode around ep 6 or 7, or you’ll be asked to go kick rocks

It would be a generational mistake if Brian Hodgson is not the head coach of Syracuse Basketball next year.

Enjoyed Carmen Emmi's PLAINCLOTHES, shot in my hometown of Syracuse. A fantastic, meditative look at lonely, anxious late-90s closeted gay life -- I can relate -- with a late twist that gives the title new meaning plus an amazing ending. (And the script was a Nicholl Top 50!)

Spend 7 minutes checking out Tom's award-winning short! It was super cool to be a teeny tiny part of it!
On a skateboard, everyone speaks the same language. S.K.A.T.E. is a short film about how one game can connect total strangers. 🎥Filmed in DC ✨Inspired by a real moment Now on @X
