Writers - you have to learn how to play the game. This isn't just a creative outlet for you. You're not just a storyteller. You control your material, you speak for yourself, whether it's directly or through a rep. If anyone has questions regarding business, industry issues,

Spoke to Onyx yesterday. They have room for one movie $5-15mil range, needs an attachment or can be finished and needs distribution. Ideally, multi-cultural/unique in some way. Love thrillers.

Guus, I did some reading on the situation in Sudan, which is dire. I therefore chose to donate to @Refugees . I also donated platelets at Cedars-Sinai today, so hopefully some cancer patients will benefit.
Today is #GivingTuesday2025. We have donated to @STOMPOutBullyng & @LewaConservancy. Please add your choices to donate to. We will choose 3 by the end of the day. Thank you.
