Amazing news! THE GENESIS FUND was just selected by The Athena Film Festival Writers Lab via FilmFreeway.com! So great to be accepted to this writer's lab. I can't wait to go next week and meet other writers.

@jonlovett @jonfavs and I hate Twitter/X. Only posting here because it seems like the best way to reach you. So you brought me out of my Twitter hibernation.

@jonlovett @jonfavs idea for a Biden ad. A version of this Monty Python skit and substitute Biden for the Romans and talk about all he's accomplished that people don't seem to know. youtube.com/watch?si=kiNi1…

@Evan_Almighty Hey Evan, nice to meet you today. What was the WGA hashtag you thought would be a good one to use to tweet thought about the strike?

#screenwriting #screenwritingtwitter Musicians - has streaming lowered your pay? I know this is an opened ended question but I've been following this for years and I'm watching the WGA strike issues with concerns about the future for writers.
