How Writers Can Find Peace in Creative Chaos: Managing Stress and Staying Calm
Peace often seems like the one thing you never have enough of. Always something going on. Deadlines looming, notes arriving later than promised, feedback that cuts deep. Creatively, you are tapped, and patience has run out. The business side of things is testing your limits. The sharp remarks, the tense exchanges, the heated debates over aesthetic and philosophical differences that are on auto-replay in your mind. It is. All. So. Much. Leaving you feeling like peace is a luxury rather t…

Five Months Of Growth: From Heartbreaking Pass To Double Recommend
Where I Started in March Last week, I was honored to receive a Double Recommend for my feature film script on Stage 32. So many amazing people have reached out to congratulate me, and I’ve received a fair number of questions asking for advice on how to get to this point. I LOVE THAT! Over the last six months, I’ve sought advice from many people, so I thought I’d pay it forward and share a brief timeline with key learning points on how I moved from a HARD double pass (t…
Inspiring & Uplifting Movies Are In Demand- Reps Are On The Hunt!
It's hard to ignore the elephant in the room: the country is feeling more divided than ever, and anyone watching the news or reading social media is getting conflicting points of view. No one can seem to agree on anything. During these turbulent times, buyers are trying to avoid polarizing content and instead are looking for feel-good content that will unite and please…at the risk of making sugar-coated, cookie-cutter projects that should, on paper, please everyone. But is there …

The "Franchise Killer": Why Your Next Project Should Be a Finite Transmedia World
In boardrooms from Burbank to Beijing, the diagnosis is unanimous: the theatrical experience is ailing. Ticket sales stagnate, blockbuster returns diminish, and the cultural footprint of cinema feels shallower than ever. The prescribed cure, championed by a legion of marketing executives, is a massive dose of transmedia expansion. "If they won't come to the movies," the logic goes, "we will bring the movie's world to them; On their phones, in their games, through their podcasts." They se…
The Emmy Awards and the Rise of Acquisitions!
For many, the Emmy Awards were too predictable and sugar-coated. For others, it was a successful night that will hopefully turn the tide for a segment of the industry that has been lagging behind for the past two years. Perhaps I have a tendency to see everything through an international lens, but among the Canadian and UK winners, it's hard to ignore that Hollywood is becoming more and more global. And that's a win in itself. Los Angeles will continue to be a beacon for artists around …
