I noticed a couple on scripthive.com but not many when I checked a while back.
Specifically saw Cloverfield and one other that escapes me currently.
That's a wrap!!

I'm really excited to get this story out in the wild. Between this and some opportunities to pitch it this year, my fingers are just staying crossed for months at a time now. π€£
Thank you!!
Script, look book, and essay questions all submitted to the super secret, invite-only fellowship application. A huge thank you to everyone who helped get my stuff ready to go!
First page of the Necrolepsy screenplay which reads: EXT. BIG PHARMA LAB β DAY, SUNSET A modern, sterile monstrosity of glass, metal, and bleached concrete set amongst carefully manicured landscaping. BRIAN (30s, m), absentminded, sloppily dressed, jogs past a sign with a modern, geometric, and indecipherable logo. He pulls up at the front doors and fumbles with his employee badge, he swipes it angrily at a badge reader. ANNOYED BEEP A red light winks. He groans. Tries again. Same result. Fuck it. He tries another door. CLICK Finally! He yanks the door open and stomps inside. INT. BIG PHARMA LAB β DAY, SUNSET Severe, high tech, all computer monitors, steel and tile. Several lab coats hang on hooks by the door. Brian floats in to find CAROLINE (30s, F), all business with a tidy bun and fashionable outfit, as she preps syringes. A SCREECH rings out from one of the many cages lining one wall. CAROLINE Late again Bri, and I think someone noticed. BRIAN Yeah, yeah. Whatβs on the docket? Still narcolepsy meds? CAROLINE Yup. Gonna have to keep your sweetie up all night. He nabs a lab coat, slips it on en route to the cages. A happy CRY now as he approaches a mother rhesus monkey and her two babies. BRIAN (to monkey) Hey Sasha. Feeling ok tonight?
First page of the Terms & Conditions screenplay which reads: EXT. SUBURBAN HOUSE β DUSK Boring, whitebread suburbia. Immaculate lawns, over-priced cars in the driveways, every cookie cutter house the same. Except the one right in front of us. The tightly drawn black curtains on a bedroom window promise gothic angst inside. Pre-lap: The clacking of a mechanical keyboard... INT. DARK BEDROOM - NIGHT ROB (30s, M), his bleary eyes slits, stands at his desk interacting with ChadPDG β his AI agent. ROB (outloud, as he types) Okay, I think Iβve found the right book. Are you sure you can translate a summoning spell in Latin? ON COMPUTER SCREEN CHADPDG (typed out) Yes, of course. Drop in the pages and let me work. The ChadPDG window minimizes and we see a cursor open a folder and grab a group of images of text and ancient pictures. The window comes back, with a CLICK Rob releases the mouse button and the pictures drop into the UI. CHADPDG (typed out) Thank you. Give me just a moment to process these... INT. DARK BEDROOM - NIGHT ROB (still typing) Perfect. Send the response to my phone. He backs away from the desk and turns to take in his room. Itβs a wreck. ...Except the space cleared in the center of the room. Rob crosses to his bed and kneels down. He pulls out a thin sheet of plywood thatβs been painted black. He swings the board into the empty floor space and we see what could only be a magic circle has been crudely chalked on it.
Time for a #FirstPageFriday #FPF twofer! Page one of my feature Necrolepsy and for my short @terms-n-cons.bsky.social which just made quarterfinalist in Killer Shorts and we're shooting next week!

I really like it. It's a blast and chaotic and has something important to say.
Follow up... anyone out there in #scriptsky land want to take a look at a look book and give feedback?
The list is live! I see some mutuals on there too! Congrats all!
#scriptsky #filmsky

Anyone got a solid look book guide (ie: what to include, not a visual template) or examples that you love?

We owe the existence of the modern half time show to Black people.
English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"
It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?
Second straight year a Drake has gotten absolutely humiliated at the Super Bowl
That Bad Bunny performance was one of my all-time favorite halftime performances, looked like a damn good time
Still image from the Super Bowl halftime show of Bad Bunny looking serious, talking directly to the camera, pointing at us.
βIf Iβm here at Super Bowl LX, itβs because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. Itβs worth more than you think.β βBad Bunny
Bad Bunnyβs closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:
βThe only thing more powerful than hate is loveβ
βTogether, we are Americaβ
Why BAD BUNNY Terrifies MAGA and Inspires the World
Bad Bunny is one of the most popular musicians in the world, producing art celebrating decolonization, resistance, love & joy, which is why he is one of the biggest threats to MAGA's racist agenda.
open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
We are ending with a pretty explicitly political moment as Bad Bunny literally shouted out many Latino nations while declaring their place in the Americas
He sure as hell healed something. Thatβs Dr. Bad Bunny to yβall.
We all saw the fellas grindin right? That may be a first for the super bowl.
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓnos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
Luckily at almost 6' and 230 pounds, even in a dress and full makeup, tech bros driving Lyft don't seem to wanna test me.
In the something like 18 months I've had the "women and non-binary" driver setting turned on in Lyft I've gotten picked up by a woman or non-binary driver exactly ZERO times. I even have the setting to wait if they can't find one turned on.
