Went to @newbeverly for the first time last night!! Favorite discovery - the bathrooms have speakers so you don’t miss even a second of audio despite finishing your medium coke only 20 minutes in... Thank you for a great re-opening! Because we love watching movies!

So grateful to have been a part of this show since the pilot! This industry gives and takes, but I’ll never forget the lessons I learned and the friends I made these past 3 years. #TeamNedward5ever 🤍

WRITING FELLOWSHIP ADVICE - a 🧵. I am a WBTV Writers’ Workshop Alum ‘23, Circle of Confusion Fellow ‘23, and a script reader for a studio fellowship. I’m not an expert by any means but this is advice I think will generally apply to most TV Fellowship submissions.

A great full-circle moment moderating a panel with the incomparable @wendycalhoun. We met 5 years ago when I was in the audience for a panel of hers. This year, we exchanged anecdotes and she told so many funny, educational and incredible stories. @austinfilmfest #AFF30

Happy Earth, Wind & Fire Day to all those who celebrate 😌

I’m literally doing everything in my power to get rid of this mindset. This is why I co-run the pickets. The mixers. The communities. To prove we aren’t here for anything else but to fight alongside the WGA. I don’t know what else I have to do.
A producer friend tried to repeat the “young writers on the picket line are just there to network” line to me & I’ll say what I said to him 1. That’s not true. 2. Even if it was, as long as they’re withholding their labor & walking a picket line I don’t give a shit about why.

We will be going live soon with a press conference from SAG-AFTRA Plaza regarding a TV/Theatrical/Streaming strike. #SAGAFTRAstrong youtube.com/live/FQiO8ZeK2Hs…

Usually if a group of writers and actors are united against you that means you are the antagonist of a Muppet movie

Today, a studio terminated my contract on a feature that I had been working on for years. Spread out over such a long time, my pay on the project came out to $352/week. One of the things we’re striking for is weekly pay for screenwriters, which is absolutely necessary.

Not a coincidence that NBA free agency begins the same day the SAG union contract is up. Don’t be surprised if you see Judy Greer signing for 3yrs/48mil with the Atlanta Hawks tomorrow

#IndianaJones 5 was a fucking fun movie. Felt like we got a taste of the old energy we’ve been missing. Critics can suck it ❤️‍🔥
The new Indiana Jones takes a big, crazy swing in the third act that the marketing has done a great job of not spoiling. I will be very interested to see whether audiences dig it or not. If you've seen it, let me know what you think, without spoiling it.

Buckle up! Here comes a long one! Don’t know who wrote, but it was passed along to me. This is the clearest rundown on why the DGA's deal regarding AI isn't even close to truly protecting us, particularly anyone who isn't at the very top of the food chain.

I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.
