The hardest truth about breaking into TV writing? 'Good' isn't good enough anymore. Your sample needs to be BLAZING HOT. Not 'shows promise.' Not 'solid.' The kind of script that makes people stop what they're doing and call you immediately.

Even in an uber-competitive industry like TV writing, there will always be people who try to pull you back toward the median (“you don’t need another spec sample”, “the script doesn’t need to be perfect, it’s going to change in development anyway”, etc….) Ignore those people.

There is an entire mini-series called EXTRAPOLATIONS, which sounds like Black Mirror for climate change, came out in 2023, features a star-studded cast (Meryl Streep, Kit Harrington, Daveed Diggs...), and which I never heard of till today because it's on Apple TV. Has anyone seen? Is it good?

SING SING is awesome. A24 totally dropped the ball on marketing and promoting this movie about a theater troupe in a men's prison, but the writing and direction are wonderful and Coleman Domingo is perfect in it. Best Adapted Screenplay nom is so well-deserved.

a hilarious case of “i’m shocked, SHOCKED”. many art forms cost little and require no compromise. art for the masses costing millions DEMANDS accessibility to exist. what divides the pros from the whiners is the ability to deliver BOTH art and commerce. apple.news/AFH9Ls83fQ0u...

It's OKAY to reach out to your reps right now. They're your team! Obvi make sure they're okay first. And don't assume they read the thing you sent right before the holidays. But if you're easing back into work, let them know you're ready to chat when they are. It's not insensitive if you're gentle.

If you are donating items, please mindful that this is not an opportunity to unload your trash and junk. If you wouldn’t want to receive stained, dirty, unwashed, expired things, please don’t do this to them either. New or gently used. Clean. Not expired.

I know LA is nursing what feels like a giant open wound right now, but my medium-term hope is that these fires push the industry to activate, rather than becoming a reason to hit pause yet again. The vibes will never be immaculate. If we want TV and film to stay in LA, we have to make it so.

I expected a big dumb straight to streaming Christmas movie with terrible writing… Instead, I got CARRY-ON, which was way more fun than I expected!

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? TV writer: Don't know what you're talking about. I've been gainfully self-employed by my S-Corp Purple Plaid Pants Inc., where I spearhead "ideation and spec writing," since Fall of 2023.

grossest thing about the latest in the IT ENDS WITH US Lively/Baldoni drama is that (if true, idk what to believe anymore tbh) this smear campaign against Blake was perpetuated by a team of women who recognized that the Internet loves to hate on women and were happy to exploit that for the right $

watched ALL THAT BREATHES on the flight back to LA last night. It's about a group of men in New Delhi who have dedicated themselves to saving the Kites -- a predatory bird population that is dying out (they're literally falling from the sky because of the extreme pollution in Delhi)

as the screenwriting gurus flood bluesky, remember that all conventional breaking-in "advice" is at least five years old, and that if this industry is a house, most people are advising you to get in line at the door...🧵

nobody wants some of these live-action remakes. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON still has an animated dragon! and it looks exactly the same as the original Dreamworks dragon (understandable as that dragon was already at peak cuteness.) WHY HOLLYWOOD WHY???!!!

somehow I missed that three Columbian children + 1 baby survived a plane crash and FORTY DAYS alone in the Amazon jungle last year but now I'm all caught up thanks to THE LOST CHILDREN. A truly bonkers story and incredible doc on Netflix.

I am also choosing to believe this is a low point, and a phase change, not the beginning of the end.

If I can take a giant swig out of my water bottle, I think that should be enough to convince TSA that I'm just trying to get home for Thanksgiving and this hydroflask is not bomb juice.
