ANNOUNCEMENT: I've been working on something new.

Torches is a new channel I've just launched. On this channel, I will release short stories of brave adventurers, explorers, warriors, gladiators, and more. These subjects have often been replaced by irony and satire in most media, which have their place, but not at the expense of earnest heroes. That's what I aim to bring back.

The first video is about Napoleon Bonaparte. If you search "when napoleon beat an army without a weapon" on Youtube, the video will come up.

My goal this whole time has been to be a writer myself. I realized that I was spending more time interviewing writers and talking about writing than I was actually WRITING. The only way I will get better is by doing it over and over again. I'm by no means a master storyteller, but I will be. And I would love if you give me your input on the new channel.

SCREENWRITERS AND FILM LOVERS: Due to being demonetized, I'm going to be searching to get the best deals possible for you through sponsorships, BUT I don't want to blab on about the latest razor or VPN you can get. I want to get deals for services that would actually be valuable for you. So, when it comes to Screenwriting/Film/TV, what are services that you use now or would want to use at some point? Streaming services, screenwriting software, etc?

Working on a Succession video now, just came across the original script that Jesse Armstrong wrote that was supposed to be more directly about Rupert Murdoch, but then become the Roy family. Very interesting!

I'm editing an exclusive interview with the screenwriter of Drive! Coming soon. While you wait, I thought I'd put together The Vault, all of my never-before-released full interviews with professional screenwriters of films like The Wolf of Wall Street, Fight Club, Black Swan, and more.
