We're making a short film! We are in pre-production on the proof of concept for my feature THE OPEN AIR, but we need your help! Please consider making a tax deductible donation through The Redwood Film Foundation via the Google form below, or if you feel more comfortable sending a check or Zelle you can email Aminah Hughes at [email protected] and she will give you instructions.
Please take a second to watch this special message from our lead actor, @ColeSibus, on why THE OPEN AIR is so important to him and the Down syndrome community! Your investment will help pay for Cole and his mom's travel to Nashville for the two-day shoot, paying our local Nashville cast and crew, renting our gear, post-production costs such as sound and coloring, and - most importantly - feeding everyone during the day! Crafty is very important 😉
Cole is best known for playing the character Ansel on ABC's "Stumptown". He is such a wonderful person and perfectly embodies the playful and curious spirit of Jake, who I based off of my own son Sam.

Long time, no talk #screenwritertwitter!
I am not on Twitter much nowdays, but I did want to drop by to say hi.
I'll be in sunny LA for all of August; I'd love to catch up! Please hit me up if you'd like to grab a coffee, or if you know of an event I should check out. :)

I'm going to try and light a candle to curse the darkness of Twitter. X whatever it is.
Here's a hopefully useful thread about the importance of emotion in your pitching and story meetings if you get in front of executives, and how to use a well-crafted deck to your advantage.
SAY WHAT?!?

A Friday reminder...
Scripts will be sold.
Writers hired.
Movies produced.
TV shows made.
And dreams realized.
Why not you? Me?
No one said it would be easy.
And Mr. Goldman was right.
Now, go write the movie or show Hollywood doesn't know it wants... until you show it to them.

It’s always high concept. Concept is king.
There are a very limited number of screenplay competitions worth mentioning.
No one cares if you won “Best Screenplay at the Camas, Washington Screenplay Competition”.
They care if they can sell your script and you as a writer.

A huge mistake early writers make is that they limit their focus on the "best" way to launch their screenwriting career.
However, every path in is so different, and each story of someone's success is a product of that time and their unique situation.
All of it made tougher because so many around you want to scoff and say, "that's a waste of time."
Yet, the best strategy is to attack every angle possible with all the limited resources you have.
Be smart; don't go flailing about, but you don't want to look back and wonder, "If only I tried this..."
If your screenplay is genuinely ready (and that is a very big if), get it out there. In any way you can.
Every big step I took in my career seemed to come out of left field.
Lots of posts about screenwriting and rejection of late. This part of the game sucks! May I humbly suggest creating your version of my "Dayna Fucking Rocks!" folder? I save positive emails, notes, and wins in it to read on rainy days. You fucking rock, too!

Major #scriptshoutout to @ZackMorrison18 for his funny AF/realistic AF pilot LIVE FROM STUDIO 7C!!
This excellent story takes us BTS on a late night show leading us in real time to opening curtain.
We root for Zelda as she navigates her dream of one day making the writers room.
It’s been a bit…
Allow me. To reintroduce myself.
A 🧵 about producing/directing my first microbudget feature. We had an amazing time and made a thousand mistakes (give or take.)
Thought I'd share a few of the lessons/realizations I made along the way. Your mileage may vary.

A novelization of SPIDER BABY by @DaynaDirector has been published via @EnPocalypsePub.
The Merrye children all suffer from a rare genetic malady that causes its victims to mentally regress to a condition of pre-human savagery and cannibalism.
If you’re looking for, shall we say, clearer skies, I’ve got just the pack to get you started!
