I’m directing my first movie! I’ve always dreamed of going back to my roots for my first film, which means Mexico and horror. Already have an incredible cast and producing partner attached. More to come!

An amazing actress, Oscar and Emmy nominee, is attached to my other feature! Can’t wait to share more but I’ve been a fan of hers for yeaaaars. 😍😭
I hate that if I draft an email on desktop and then edit on mobile (or viceversa) the font sizes are different but you can’t tell until you send it! If you read the email on desktop it looks fine but on mobile it looks ugly with all the different font sizes! Gmail, get your shit together! 😂
I sold the movie I wrote during (and finished after) the strike! And yes, it’s an original spec. Let’s go!
The best villains aren’t written just as villains, but also as people. I immediately notice when a villain is simply a portrayal of a type of person the writer dislikes. The result is one-dimensional characters with no depth. Give your villains empathy!
I don’t understand why the US has so many drug commercials. Medication should be prescribed by a doctor, why would they advertise to the general public like it’s their favorite pizza?
Crazy busy couple of weeks. I’m grateful for little moments like this. 🥹😍❤️
Horror-comedies are great but can we also have just regular horror films again? 🙏🏼
A wedding, a family retreat and then another wedding. All the traveling got to me. 🤧 Looking forward to not going anywhere for a few months!
Love having a boyfriend who’s obsessed with women’s basketball. We had a blast watching the NCAA championship! Congrats UCONN! 🎉 Sarah Strong is gonna be HUGE!
So excited about my new pilot. Got amazing notes from my manager and I’m off to draft 3!
My best friend got married and I had the honor to officiate. My heart is so full. ❤️
My boyfriend makes the best espresso martinis. Sipping this while chatting for a long time on the balcony, wearing our coziest hoodie. What a beautiful night. ❤️
What are other passions you have besides writing? Or other jobs you’ve had that you’ve enjoyed? Rooms really value non-writing professional experience. It’s crazy how specific they get sometimes so definitely lean on that.
I’ve been very optimistic lately, it’s been a couple of weeks of great news & progress. But today is a low day. I’m feeling the accumulation of exhaustion & stress. Some may be struggling more than others but we’re all feeling it. I’m letting myself be a couch potato today. Tomorrow, I keep going.
Guadalupe Nettel is the most exquisite Mexican author I’ve read in a long time. Totally obsessed. #booksky
Everyone’s different, but the best thing I’ve done for my writing and creativity is to truly and fully love myself! ❤️ Thanks David for the life lesson!
Better life, better writing

We get beautiful fog very often in Playa Vista and that inspired my new genre pilot. I’m obsessed with my foggy mornings and nights. 😍
Coralie Fargeat sent out a 90 page (!!!) look-book with THE SUBSTANCE screenplay when they were shopping it. Not a pitch deck. An entire feature length look-book that tracks the movie from beginning to end with horrific images. It’s rad… and inspiring as hell. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/16jkY...
