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.

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!

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.

COBWEB - written by Bellevue client Chris Thomas Devlin - just landed on Netflix and is already #9 on the Movies chart!

Having the talk* with my son. *why the Special Editions exist and why you can’t see the originals.
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.
