None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

RIP Gene Hackman - One of the most influential screen actors ever. There was nothing he couldn’t do. His work was searingly truthful and often brutally honest -he never let you off the hook . Not afraid of ambiguity- a lost quality these days . Lucky & grateful to have share screen with him.

What a loss. He left us with so many wonderful performances. RIP

I wasn't gonna say post anything about Rolling Stone listing MJ's "The Lady in My Life" on its list of 50 Terrible Songs on Great Albums. But this speaks to a bigger issue - what happens when white mainstream media outlets dare to speak about Black music & culture. open.substack.com/pub/headphon...

Nearly every problem in your screenwriting can be solved by two questions: 1. What story are you telling? 2. What emotion are you trying to evoke? Your job gets much easier when you let these central values guide your decision-making. #scriptsky

Everyone from Elvis to Bruce Springsteen has covered this song. And they've created some solid renditions but nothing will ever quite capture the magic of the original. Rest In Peace, Jerry Butler --
