I crafted the latest draft of BLIND PURSUIT with the help of the amazing Janet Jeffries of Lawrence Bender.
I love how my script reads now. I expect even better things to come!
Thank you, Janet!

My short screenplay TOO MUCH AIR has advanced to the next round of NYC Midnight Short Screenplay Challenge
“TOO MUCH AIR” by Debi Yazbeck
LOGLINE – Live, love, laugh — even laugh last. But always watch your back.
This was really fun to create and write. I’m excited for my next set of prompts Saturday morning.
What craziness can I devise next… hmmm?

I am crazzzy excited that OUT OF THE WALLS is an Official Selection at ARFF!
Because of Covid, the festival is being delayed until March 25-27, 2021.
I will be there! No way I’ll miss a live screening in Austin.
And no way I’ll miss ARFF – such a fun festival.

Please join me in shouting out to ARFF:
And the good news from April 14th…

*******************************************************
I received some of the best notes EVER from BlueCat’s script analysis.
I’m excited to be a Quarter-Finalist for BlueCat’s 2020 Screenplay Competition.
Looking forward to April 14th!

p.s. I loved KNIVES OUT!
This is just what I needed!
In eight weeks I went from complete ignorance to producing, writing and directing my own short film PRELUDE TO MURDER IN SOUTHEAST AUSTIN while being mentored by Julia Solomonoff and Danielle Lessovitz.
Thank you so much to my incredible cast of actors, Perri Reavis and Lon Lawson. And to my DP and editor, Benjamin Ward. Directing is truly a collaborative adventure that unites everyone on set.
And add to all of that… This course has set me on the correct path for directing Della Greenawalt’s award winning script SUNFLOWER CARE in May.
Thank you, SUNDANCE Collab!
