I’ve been quiet on here for many reasons — from losing my father in March, to having an atrocious year as a freelance TV editor with no TV to cut — but I did want to share some good on here: my short film has had the privilege of screening at 6 different festivals so far!

I know my father would be proud of this accomplishment and would encourage me to keep at it and to give myself whatever grace I needed to stay afloat through these challenges. I hope everyone has been keeping their dreams alive despite the state of the world. ❤️

Here’s what I’m going to do today: I’m going to clean a bit. I’m going to catch up on some emails. I’m going to handle some edit work. I’m going to be productive. I’m full of anger - but I’m going to engage with it sparingly as to not burn out. We’ve got fights to fight.

Hey film people! I usually keep it to screenwriting on here but *fun fact* my day job is actually as a freelance tv/film editor w/ 13+ years of experience! Working on an indie feature, pilot or short? Need a trailer or sizzle reel? Let’s chat! nickperlman.com/editing

Same screenplay different competition! Congrats to everyone who placed in the second round!! #AFF Who's going?
Got my reader comments from a certain competition and the messages are mixed. 😂 In short: “loved everything about this but it’s not enough. This is just people talking.” Poll: should I put a car chase into my indie dramedy set at a silent retreat?

You can’t win everyone over but sometimes I think it’s an honest-to-god crapshoot because this reader, who often referred to the main characters as “these gay men,” is clearly not the target demographic for this movie.

What are some notable movies featuring people *mostly* just talking? I’ll go first: The Before Trilogy Clerks 12 Angry Men

Last Thursday I had the 1st private screening for my short film LOVING SILENCE and it was amazing and wonderful. It's begun it's festival journey and off to a good start – currently slated to screen at @CinemaDiverse on 9/28 at noon! Fingers crossed for more festival selections!

So like, at least with cable TV we weren't subjected to literally the same commercial repeated over and over and over again through one program, nor were we teased with the lie of "skip ad." Yes you can skip it, but here's the same ad again, now unskippable.

Just had the pleasure of reading @SeanAzze's hilarious script, TOM HANKS IS OVER. It's brimming with hysterical one-liners, exciting action sequences, and has got a ton of heart. Reps take note!!

Yes, I hear you but major complication: I did fall out of a coconut tree. I have no idea what came before me. I might have amnesia.

when my grandkids ask me what it was like to be alive in the 2020s I’m going to get up and leave the house and quietly walk into the mist
