Screenwriter who crafts emotionally complex characters in impossible circumstances where love is what saves or destroys them.
I've had high anxiety since I was a teen. Tried anti-depressants, but they always made it worse. I've been rawdogging it.. until today. I was prescribed medicinal cannabis. (CBD drops and THC inhaler). I gave the CBD drops a go... Is this what it's like to feel normal and relaxed?!
The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.
If my phone autocorrects logline to longline one more fucking time…#scriptsky

Beyond thrilled to say my short film, AFTERGLOW, is a quarterfinalist in the PAGE AWARDS. I see quite a few familiar names. Congratulations to all! #Scriptsky
Jennifer is the real deal. Had the pleasure of reading this one. Congratulations!
Jennifer Grand@jennifergrand.bsky.social · 4w agoI'm delighted to see my latest thriller, DEEP AND DARK, is featured on the 2026 Women's List. It's a home invasion thriller for the crypto era, starting with a "$5 wrench attack"— the low-tech crime everyone in crypto is quietly afraid of— and escalating from there. #scriptsky
How do you naturally check in with people again? It’s hell constantly reading body language, analysing words, actions, and trying to be everything to everyone with the hope to never again feel the fracturing grief that comes with losing someone to suicide. Three years feels yesterday.
Sam Neill spent some of his lockdown posting wholesome chats and duck-cuddling content from his home in New Zealand. These meant a lot to me during a pretty dark time. This drawing was inspired by one of his posts. Thanks for everything, Sam. Your amazing films and your humanity. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace, Sam Neill 😞 Jurassic Park is one of my earliest memories of falling in love with film.
The film and TV industry was a goose that laid golden eggs and fed legions of cast and crew for decades until tech companies came along. Wall Street got excited when they called themselves “disruptors”, when it was so obvious they were just breaking something that they didn’t care to understand.
Greg Iwinski@garyjackson.bsky.social · last mo.TV writers were right in 2023 and are being proven more right every day — there was a stable television model that made everyone lots of money and put out good shows. Then execs with no understanding of the industry confused the production model and the distribution model, and they blew it all up.
Voicemails for Isabelle is a stellar romcom that should become an example of great writing within the genre. #ScriptSky
Well, I'm officially getting old... I just overheard a group of early twenty-somethings speaking about The Simpsons. Two had never seen it, one didn't believe it lives up to the hype, and the other thought the animation was 'jurassic'. Little brats insulting my religion like that... #ScriptSky

It’s wild how easy it is to throw thousands on screenwriting opportunities with the hope they might move the needle for you. I’m guilty of this in the past, but the reality is most are empty accolades. #ScriptSky
Don't let them beat the weird and quirky out of you. That's what makes you different from every other wannabe who's using SAVE THE CAT like a passport to success. Find your Dracula musical. And don't let anyone tell you to cut it. (Unless it sucks.)
You can’t tell me Steve and Bucky were just friends.
Sophia_Nyx 🐰@sophianyx.bsky.social · 2mo agoName your fav LGBTQA+ film protagonist.
So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.
Three trips around the sun since you had to go. The world is darker without your smile. I miss you. Happy Birthday.
Happy 100th Birthday to the incomparable David Attenborough 🥳

There's something brutal, yet beautiful in saying goodbye to someone in their final hours. But it all hits the same in the end. That aching loss.
You can always just not watch something if it doesn’t interest you. #ScriptSky
It feels good to be in love with writing again. #Scriptsky
You know what separates working writers from talented writers who gave up? Not skill level. It's the ability to have a terrible writing day, feel like garbage about it, wake up the next morning, and try again. Self-compassion is how you build that resilience. #scriptsky
How I imagine Trump’s briefing on Artemis II went… “Integrity? What’s that?”
When do you achieve your most productive writing? I’m finding mine happens between 12-4am. It’s whisper quiet. No distractions. Just a steady flow of words on the page. #ScriptSky
The guy belongs in an asylum, not the Whitehouse.
The Simpsons are my religion… I can’t help but notice how Mr. Burns, Chief Wiggum, Mayor Quimby, Dr. Nick Riveria and Lionel Hitz are running the US at the moment, all thanks to Artie Ziff’s money and power, and voted in by the ignorance of Cletus, Comic Book Guy and Helen Lovejoy.
