2023 Academy Nicholl Fellowship finalist | Black List Recommended. I'm just here for the cat videos.
Los Angeles, CA
Joined December 2023
THE FUNNY HE-SHE LADIES! was a 2023 Academy Nicholl finalist. A dramedy based on the Boulton and Park crossdressing scandal of 1870-71. Their trial became a cause célèbre that implicated London’s high society and marked the first recorded use of the term “drag.”

Do the people currently hyperventilating over Kevin Bacon's trending pro-drag video even realize that it was made a few years ago? We're talking a least a few degrees of separation from the present.

This is SO much better than the bisected version of Kill Bill that the vast majority of people have seen.
The 258-minute "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" has barely screened since Cannes 2006, but it's arguably the director's greatest work — and one of the best American movies of the 21st century. We explain why: https://t.co/obv4v5ED1b

If you're trying to keep your affair secret, pretty much any strategy imaginable beats "Let's go to a Coldplay concert and pose standing in an affectionate embrace while a kiss cam broadcasts people just like us on a giant screen." It's like Russian roulette with five bullets.

In 2023, I made the finals of the Nicholl Fellowships (top 13 out of 5599 entries). Let me explain how becoming a Nicholl finalist changed my life. I got 7 agent/manager requests for my script. None followed up. Online kibitzers joked about my headshot.

I've got an idea for an M&M's commercial. Have your people call my people.
Seal takes his namesake to new surreal heights in Mountain Dew‘s 2025 Super Bowl commercial. The 30-second spot features the 15-time Grammy nominee transformed into a literal seal (with a realistic face). https://t.co/ooMOF1Skr2

Luke Wintour needs to drop everything and make a Boulton and Park movie. I say this because I have an awesome script, and because it's funny when people drop stuff.

CUCKOO feels like classic Cronenberg--not just for its eagerness to plunge into body-horror craziness, but also for the oddball humanism peeking perversely through the darkness. (Yes, I'm recommending it.)
