I’ve had the privilege of meeting 11 talented directors recently who are also new friends. They’re now all on my emotional speed dial, which is kind of a shame for them.

I’m extremely happy to say that my new screenplay THREE HOURS won the @chifilmfest Pitch competition at Industry Days! @hollihop and I pitched our hearts out, and man, everyone’s project was a film that has to be made. Go read all of the pitches and tell me I’m wrong.
Thanks to Anthony Kaufman, @keslowcamera @girlsgotta @jonah_zeiger @jc_farris_film and the whole CIFF ensemble.

Color theory, brought to you by Dan Flavin. Blue filter makes red pigment seem black. Turns any boring skin into a masterpiece. It’s the antimakeup America really needs right now, trust me. #orthochromatic #colortheory #danflavin #marfa

Tomorrow THREE HOURS is going to be read aloud for the first time, with some of Chicago’s best actors. This will be the first time it says its name, and breathes its first breath. It’s a remarkable thing, filmmaking. Thank you to @prcasting , @sagaftra Chicago, @hollihop @shelleygusto , @girlsgotta , @chifilmfest , and the other members of this village helping to raise it.

Oh hey, you made it to the bottom. You're a reader, and I like that about you.
Here's a little about me in text form.
I'm from Chicago and New York, but now I live in LA.
I came up at Second City, iO and Annoyance writing and performing improv and sketch comedy.
One day, I wrote a 23 page sketch that was more sad than funny, and realized I was making a short film.
I looked around for someone to direct it, and no one would.
My good friends convinced me to direct it myself.
I went to festivals, won some laurels, and made four more films.
And now, here we are together, you and I.
