Highlights this year thus far have been dancing with abandon, road tripping from Yosemite to Sequoia NP, down to the high desert and bar flying with excellent strangers, music in saloons, dinners with excellent humans and time with favorites, new and old. American Spirits, salty margaritas, dogs, screenplays & auditions shot on the road, beaches, deserts and mountains. Truth is there’s been so many highlights I’ve just integrated them into my soul and let them go where they used to before phones. Negatively, I haven’t had any cold weather. I’m hot inside. So hot. I want a winter. The heat feels manufactured. You should see the state of SoCal winter skies.
I forget these days to pull out my phone in my most favourite moments so these videos are a random culmination.
In generic news, LA looks like there are no adults anywhere and the PCH is a total mess. The Netflix building is an ever-growing behemoth. Robots are delivering food and driving people around. Tesla trucks. The Comedy Store is pretty vibrant. Star gazing and dancing are plentiful. Griffith Park remains a beautiful oasis.
The wider world is still out there, as magical, beautiful and as mysterious as ever. Bills are insufferable. Rules are piling up, surveillance cameras are increasing. Cities are dystopian. No one knows where any of this is going. Someone may. We might drive fate by our decisions, and the truth may be that you can do whatever you want.
If you want to.
In light of my recent post from the LA St Andrews Society Rabbie Burns Supper at the Four Seasons I’ve resurrected this little award-winning 2018 skit.

I’m a bit late to the posting party; in November the Austin Short Film Festival shortlisted my mini dark comedy screenplay ‘A Good Call’ about a girl who makes a deal with a famous man for a shot at fame. The script has barely any dialogue and was set in a Sherman Oaks laneway. DM me if you want to know who the famous man is.
Thank you so much @austin.short.film.festival . ✌️✨
