I went down this rabbit hole recently of script readers and even working writers brag on socials about a “hack”: upload someone else’s screenplay to ChatGPT

A new 2026 goal is to do a segment for the next VHS! Going to push my own connections in that direction. Do I know anybody else with some kind of connection to that team?

Page 1 from NO GHOSTS TONIGHT, my tale of a young woman who embarks on a desperate Channel crossing among strangers in a bid to get home.
A Nicholl finalist, it didn't get me an agent or manager (hint, hint), but it did open various other more productiony doors.

It’s time for a #firstpagefriday today I’m showing off my feature TO HELL WITH LOVE
“When a grieving teenager descends into Hell to rescue his lost love, he must navigate a nightmarish underworld filled with grotesque horrors and deceptive allies in one day or else he is stuck there forever.”
Our proof-of-concept short horror film WITH YOUR LIFE is out now!
This is a slasher about generational trauma by way of domestic violence. The story follows Luisa as she risks everything to escape her husband’s family farm with her baby daughter.

#specscriptshoutout for MIGRANT SPIRITS by @macabremartinez.bsky.social that brings the horror of child detention centres to the horror genre. Hope it finds a place with the Neon and A24s of the industry
“Two best friends move to Los Angeles to chase their dreams, but when a fame-hungry ritual backfires, vengeful spirits seek them out and escaping may mean sacrificing everything they came for.”
Announcing our next project! We will be in production on a feature film starting in May called CITY OF ANGELS starring Amy Cassandra Martinez and Daniele Quinn.
