send me the script you think is too much. too mean, too weird, too long. (it's probably not too long.) (it might be too long.)

On the record

i can't show you almost any of it, which is a weird thing to build a website around.

four years on a partner's desk. the scripts i've read, the notes i've given, the lists i've built of exactly who to send a thing to and in what order, all of it belongs to other people and stays theirs until it comes out. if it comes out. i can tell you it went to a very good buyer and that's about it.

i've read the pilot before it had a title. i've been on the call where the writer worked out what the second half was about. i've watched a script i loved die in a room, and the difference between that one and the one that sold wasn't always quality, it was who was sitting there and whether anyone could say what the show was in one sentence.

send me

what i actually want

horror that isn't about trauma comedy where somebody actually gets hurt a protagonist who is bad at being a person trans characters allowed to be wrong a bad decision in the first ten pages genre you can shoot for no money half hours. or hours. figure it out later a mom who calls at the worst possible moment coming out as the entire plot trauma as the whole personality anything that apologizes for itself
