- Proud to announce that today I'm officially a member of the Writers Guild of America!
- creatures from this planet astound me sometimes... x.com/buitengebieden…
- Dear Writers. And filmmakers. And me. Don’t be afraid to kill your darlings. Story is more important than that precious piece of dialogue you wrote that doesn’t really fit.
- I’ve literally written a script that execs called unreadable that ended up getting major talent + a deal for me Am I bragging? maybe a little 😉 but why im telling you this is most of the rejection we face as writers is meaningless. It should NEVER make U lose faith in your art
- In 2020 i lost a big spec script job due to Covid and ended up having to deliver food for 8 months. never stopped writing. Never stopped believing. Finally full circle with a big BOOKING today $ Sharing this with writers who need the PUSH. we all get humbled. never lose faith!!
- Brutal story about Hollywood: I directed a dozen short films and not one of them ever got any traction, none of them got into any festivals (other than a few ones that nobody attended), and they also failed to get any traction or views on Youtube. So, I made a no budget feature
- A STORY: For any writer out there who’s giving up hope, thinking about quitting. 11 months ago, I was delivering food for Uber everyday to make my rent, with a quiver of scripts nobody would read. I had a movie produced 6 years prior. The money had run out, so had my confidence.
- 10 years of writing scripts… all worth it for moments like this🙏🙏🙏 Teardrop is released on Tubi today. Thank you for all the support. Know you’re gonna love this scary ghost town haunting horror movie !
- I don’t network. I write scripts. And I write them so damn good that they get made sometimes. No networking. Never. Don’t believe in it. Treat people as humans beings. Connect. Love. Not use. Write Kickass Scripts. Mountains get moved. Period. End of the tweet🎤
- Writers need their own voice. Not Quentin Tarantino’s or Aaron Sorkin’s. They created those distinct styles of screenwriting. That’s their thing. They dominate at it and always will. It’s organic to them. Don’t be the next them. Be the first you. It’s scary. It’s awesome. Be it!
- I have COVID. Asymptomatic. Feel healthy as an ox. Was pretty cautious with social distancing and staying home but still got it somehow. Be safe guys ! Be well. I’ll be quarantining for the next 14 days.
- Every year it becomes harder for the horror screenwriter to craft logical and original reasoning to why there’s no cell phone service in the area.
