In the past 24 hours, Julia Cox sold her spec for $2M. @LukeBarnett's spec Epilogue announced it was being produced by @flanaganfilm, and @MattAltman2 sold a spec to Lionsgate.
Spec scripts are so back.
So excited to finally share this movie @ebrodeur and I produced. It's an absolute tour de force for Molly and Cameron who left nothing on the table when shooting. Congrats and thank you to everyone involved!

So sad Lynda passed. Never got to meet her but she was on my list of industry folks I wanted to meet. Her two books, "Hello, He Lied" and "Sleepless in Hollywood," are fascinating looks into the business of movies. Go read them to celebrate her life.
#RIP Lynda Obst was one of the greatest people ever. I am so sorry she has passed away and much too soon. Her book title, "Hello, He Lied" says everything about Hollywood. Condolences to her family.

The wait is over. Hitting a theater near you December 6th. Time to wolf out! #werewolvesmovie
We did it, guys. We made it to the end of the internet. deadline.com/2024/10/view-ma…
This is great, but why does it take 16,000 people to send a complaint before they do something that should be common sense?

As timing would have it, no less than three friends released great low budget indie genre movies this weekend.
I’m gonna share them here. Check them out and support truly independent DIY filmmaking.
Get in the Halloween spirit!

Johnny 5 is alive!
This man was arrested by the first police robot in history. He tried shooting at it and throwing a blanket on it, but still managed to get arrested. teapaw.org/copiumx/status/1836886…

My mom died when I was 17. I only have a handful of pictures and zero videos of her. A couple years ago, on my birthday, I got a text from a number I didn’t recognize. It simply said “happy birthday” with a YouTube link. I clicked it and my heart stopped. It was my mom.
I had to pull over immediately. She was telling me how proud she was of me and how she wondered what I’d become. Maybe a policeman, a preacher, or even a clown. I couldn’t believe it.
Well, it turns out the random phone number was my friend Jon’s dad, who had found this video on an old VHS tape they made before a 1999 school event. I was 16.
This experience got me thinking... what if we could have one last conversation with someone we lost?

California needs to get into full panic mode. Billions are being invested in Nevada film right now. Film LA and the city as a whole should be doing everything in their power to incentivize studios to shoot here. Give a 30% tax break, make indie film permits $50. Figure it out.

I made an 18 hr spotify playlist that I use for script reading. I've put in the entire discographies of favorite artists, so there's a real joy in discovering a fantastic song that's new to me and this is a current favorite: youtube.com/watch?v=gDbaUAeS…
Momentum is huge in this business. The scripts/films that get made are the ones that come together FAST. The ones that take 10 years are the exception.

Are any line producers making budgets that don't follow the traditional ATL/BTL delineation? Thinking of putting my next budget in priority order instead. Wondering who is doing it differently.
