How about this one: Genre: Sci-Fi Thriller Logline: When an insomniac sleep researcher discovers dream-based time travel, she must evade corporate spies and government agents bent on appropriating her work.

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?

I missed the beginning, but I’m in now. Thanks for the jumpstart!

Ah, damn. 😢

Great movie! Slightly different alien vibe, lol!

As someone who saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind in the theater when I was 11 and E.T. when I was 16, Disclosure Day feels like the perfect culmination of an epic Spielberg trilogy.

My cortisol levels start spiking as soon as I hear the endless “press # for” options.

Who else loved the Raiders of the Lost Ark Easter egg in The Burroughs?

#Scriptsky #FirstPageFriday Here’s the first page of the first screenplay I ever wrote. A dark one called FIGHT. HIDE. RUN.

5309?

The first time I wrote a script with specific actors in mind, a supporting character (played by Tiffany Haddish in my mind) completely took over the script, stealing every scene with her brash dialogue and hilarious choices. So much fun!

#Scriptsky #TwoPageTuesday Drawing on 10+ years as the Gay-Straight Alliance advisor at my high school, my drama/thriller The Phrogger was inspired by the (often horrifying) experiences of some of my students. The script strives to honor their humanity, bravery, and resilience.

#Scriptsky #FirstPageFriday Page one of my comedy caper. Brief nod to my decades as an English teacher (and tip of the hat to Stannis Baratheon). IYKYK

You are the most prolific screenwriter I know! #scriptsky

A random fact about me: When I was 11, I rode a unicycle 18 miles without stopping (for a bike-a-thon). Hand me a unicycle today, and I can still ride.

Don’t tell anyone, but I’m cheating on my WIP with a side script.
