Happy Saturday, fellow creatives!
Just wanted to send good vibes and flow your way—and share something I’m truly proud of:
I officially completed the rewrite of my very first screenplay today.
I started the original version back in 2023, and after a deeply rewarding journey of writing, rewriting, and formatting, it’s finally complete. This process taught me patience, trust, and the beauty of showing up—even on the quiet days, even when it was just a few lines at a time.
I’ve been writing in my own little corner for a while now, and today feels like a turning point. I’m incredibly grateful for this creative calling, and proud of the discipline it’s taken to see it through.
Next steps:
- I’ll be building out my portfolio
- Reaching out to managers, agents, and producers
- Exploring contests to submit to
If you have any suggestions or guidance on what’s helped you take those next steps—or even want to connect—I’d love to hear from you.
Until then, I’ll be soaking this moment in, letting the energy expand, and getting ready to start brainstorming my next screenplay (already got the idea lol).
Cheers to the journey, and to trusting the timing.
Let’s keep creating.

Warners seems to keep losing dance partners and Sony has deep relationships with Amazon on hardware sales. Only the shadow knows what really happened here but sounds like a big win for Sony.

Sam Sokolow do you think Sam, that this sounds like Warner Bros has a long-term terminal business problem?

Expand commentTwo MPA members consolidating their distribution strategies. Since the consent order restricting the studios from monopolistic practices was (without explanation) set aside by the DOJ a couple years ago, they have gone off the hook buying every viable streamer and coordinating efforts to stifle access to anything but studio content, now on a global basis. This might maybe something that should be looked at under RICO. Whatever it means for Amazon & MGM, at the end of the day it means nothing to consumers or independent filmmakers, except noting yet another incremental move to control market share.
