As theatrical has pretty much collapsed for non-tentpole/event movies, horror has become one of the only ways for new directors to get a feature film made.

Jason Blum says “something really cool” is happening in horror right now, thanks to Jordan Peele’s ‘GET OUT’ “When we started, horror was for weirdos; it was not for mainstream filmmakers. If you were the star directing student at NYU, you were making a movie for Sundance and…

This season of Love is Blind is really testing my belief that you can find true love by talking to someone through a wall for a week.

Speaking as a showrunner with two writers rooms going on now, this article from Ankler is insane. I don’t know who the insider is, but they should call bullshit. This is a GPT press release.

The “GPT-5 pass” has gone from curiosity to mandate. Scripts, trailers, pitch decks are all being filtered through an AI model that remembers every draft and forgets what originality looks like. @ebarmack on Hollywood’s uneasy reset: theankler.com/p/run-it-throu…

So excited for the amazing cast that's coming together for I PLAY ROCKY, written by Bellevue client @ITellTallTales !


Deeply honored to have some footage from my NYU student doc (from back in 2000!!) used in @Yourgeaux's awesome short documentary. It's a super fun and nostalgic look back at the late 90s MTV and general pop culture world, all done in a 90s tech aesthetic! WATCH IT!

In 1999, a chain letter began to matriculate around online message boards. The goal? Get New Kids On The Block’s 1989 music video “Hangin’ Tough” on Total Request Live. Why? Cuz it wud b funny lmao. Check out TR(ol)L for free on trolldoc.com

One of my favorite albums. So glad to finally have it on vinyl!

The Road To Rouen 20th anniversary edition is released today, celebrating 20 years since the release of Supergrass' fifth studio album! Listen now on streaming, also available on 2CD and Petrol & Forest Green double vinyl with bundles including a signed postcard. #RoadToRouen20



Blessed to have a client (and friend) as generous and talented as @SheridanKevin. This is just the beginning of so much!

A movie I wrote - that’s personal in more ways I care to mention - starts filming today. It’s only possible because others risked their reputation on my behalf. And they did it for years. Thank you @johnzaozirny and the Bellevue team. Thank you Max West and Phil D’Amecourt at WME



Great look at Tom Quinn’s career and how he built @neonrated. The filmmakers of I, TONYA deciding to work with them speaks to a belief of mine: Always work with the hungry & ambitious. You want them to need your wins as much as you need those wins.

You have to love that a company who decided to name their AI food expert "Claire Delish"... is accusing AI critics of being lazy.

Ian Shorr: "Something for every screenwriter to remember: no one has ever said, ‘That movie was boring as shit, but at least it didn't have any plot holes.’ Think about emotion first, plot second, and Cinema Sins never." #screenwriting

So stoked for @ITellTallTales - when I say he’s not only one of THE BEST human beings but also a complete GENIUS of a storyteller, I say it with every fiber of my being.

Compliments don’t come much higher than this, @ITellTallTales !!!! Congrats!!!
