Anyone who thinks the pandemic is an attack on their freedom coordinated by every country, government and health service in the world has never tried to get five band members to arrive at the airport at roughly the same time.

Needing to pee in a screening of desert epic Lawrence of Arabia, Herbert journeyed from a mid-row seat past easily-angered cinephiles and was struck with the idea for the “sandwalk”. Decades later, an adaptation of Dune saw many cinemagoers share an identical experience. #Dune

@MikeBoaks Amazing!

Pretty amazing thing happened today. Proud to announce my first option agreement signed with SHACKLED. Huge thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me along the way, you're the absolute best of #ScreenwritingTwitter 🙏🙏🙏

Today, with two hours notice, a guy picked up a side table he purchased from me seven months ago on an online marketplace for $20. I was deeply intrigued - so many delays - but he barely said hello. I can't stop thinking about what would have happened if I'd chucked it out.

2. I’m gonna film a year-long training montage of me getting my shower-to-downstairs-front-door time down from 33 seconds to 15 and give it to him next Christmas. There’ll be all the highs and lows - I’ll even give up, cry at some point - but he will be proud of me, damn it.

1. In the doorway wearing a shirt inside out and a towel at 8am, I called out to my regular boomer DHL guy and he reluctantly got out of the van and came back with my package, shook his head, deeply disappointed and said “that was far too long to answer the door.” So now…

@johnshewill It does look a little fangtacular

@MrBarbeler Some sweet jams right there

@Ms_L_Simpson It’s the ADHD death ray. Hard to aim but it is effective.

@LachlanMarks It takes me a good hour of stuffing around to get started. I can push myself harder if I have a deadline, but four hours straight is incredible!

The way I work is... I write for about 10 minutes, then watch about 10 minutes of something on my laptop (currently watching Zero Dark Thirty) and go back and forth with breaks for other stuff as well. I DO NOT have the attention span to do anything for long periods of time.

@h_lahmann Haha seems on brand to me

@alexanderchard Very good.

serving only the finest red whine

Just finished 'GAME' by @LachlanMarks and this short is freaking 🔥 🔥 🔥 Well done mate!!

@MikeBoaks @Ms_L_Simpson @ANightOfHorror @tristanviney Sure thing. DM me your email and I’ll shoot it over.

@Ms_L_Simpson @LachlanMarks @ANightOfHorror @tristanviney hey I'd love to hijack this tweet reply and ask if I can read too?

This was such great news to get from @ANightOfHorror halfway through a 30-hour commute between countries. Huge thanks go to @tristanviney for suggesting an insane opening image and encouraging me to push this story as far out of control as it could go!

Returning to my full-time position of Terrified Man Who Sits In House On Writing Deadline isn’t quite the same after the last few months of this business. Thanks to @sleepmakeswaves and their incredible team for putting me in to shoot a few hoops. xo
