Stowe Story Lab TV Writer’s Room
I have the honor of being part of this talented group of twelve selected writers.
Eszter Angyalosy is taking us on the journey of breaking down the first season of BOSCH — one of my favorite shows.
Then we will create our own TV pilot and season.

Directing Christina Collard
SUNFLOWER CARE TV Pilot promo shoot came alive with the help of our wonderful cast and crew. It was more fun than I could have imagined.
There is nothing that Christina Collard can’t make funny.
But besides that, she makes everyone comfortable. She has more energy than a child.
And she’s kind. I’m so grateful to have her on set.
Hugs to you, Christina!

Another Sundance Certificate
I entered this eight week class with a sketchy vision of my zany, crime-drama, darkly comedic one-hour TV pilot Texoma Shrooms and came out with a full outline!
Sundance continues to help me.
Thank you Vanessa Matsui for your incredible notes and Angela LaManna for fun and thorough teaching.

Movin’ On Up at LAISA
It seems I just posted about quarter-finals and LAISA’s incredible review of my TV pilot THOSE BENEATH.
Now THOSE BENEATH is a top 1% finalist still in the running for winner of the 2018 Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards.

Those Beneath (TV Pilot) & Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards
I hadn’t entered a contest in a while, had never entered LAISA, but I felt my TV pilot, Those Beneath, could be a really good fit.
And look at this line-up of judges:
They sent me a one of the best set of scripts notes ever (I highly recommend).
Those Beneath is a quarter-finalist, top 10%.
Next announcement next week.
🤞
