READ MOREA producer I was talking to online was curious about how to format his screenplay in which 90% of his dialogue was song lyrics. Should it be like the script for Les Miserables or Pink Floyd’s The Wall? I thought the discussion was worth blogging about here. Opera or Music Video? In opera, all dialogue […]

READ MOREHave you ever seen animation quite like this? I was excited to discuss this fantastic, at times creepy, animated film in a panel from the “virtual” Little Theatre on May 19.

READ MOREFor a couple years now, I’ve been posting occasional artwork on Redbubble under the moniker MANY HATS. (Because I wear so many, don’t ya know?)

READ MOREA part-time project for me lately has been turning the occasional strange idea into T-shirts and stickers. Redbubble.com is a great print-on-demand service that allows for this.

READ MOREMy interest in radio goes back to making mixtapes as a kid, which unexpectedly led into deejaying at SUNY Geneseo’s WGSU and producing shows at 96.5 WCMF. Lately, that interest has been satisfied by podcasts — both by listening to and creating them. These days, I hardly listen to radio at all because I have a phone […]

READ MOREA recent “special episode” of Scriptnotes delved into the failure of Scripped.com, a site where screenwriters could compose in a web browser and save their work in the cloud. After the site was sold, a server error led to the loss of years’ worth of backups, and the new owner was ill-prepared to fix the […]
