Oops, I missed a Tweet Tales post again last week. I was frantically writing my newest short screenplay to apply for the SC film grant again. But I got it finished and revised multiple times and then submitted on Sunday morning, a record 36 hours before it was due....

This week I’ve been writing a short screenplay to apply for the SC Film Indie Grant. This is the same grant program I won to make my short films Saying Goodbye and High Heels & Hoodoo. It’s such an amazing program, and I can’t believe how lucky...

I've had a lot of stuff going on the past few weeks, so I got behind on tweet tales again. I've been working on several grants I'm applying for, I spent a week dog-sitting my nieces and nephew (who think beds are for dogs not humans), and I've been...
