Please meet our assistant editor. #seethis got to edit in person today with @slamstagrams while I was in New York for my beloved @filmmakinglabs generator. #creativity #storytelling #myhappyplace instagr.am/p/CpyRiepPBBd/

Editing 2 things at once! Short film online with my editor, and piecing together a comedy reel to pitch for a commercial. instagr.am/p/Cp0QvSwJ_gf/

Taking my first TV series pitch (based on a book) out to production companies. I love pitching, to be honest. Writing is such a long lonely process; I forgot how satisfying telling a story to someone and hearing audible reactions is! Have 5 more pitches… instagr.am/p/Cp74FQprr25/

Director’s cut of #SeeThis finally ready. Thanks to those of you who helped me screen the film and gave notes this weekend. It’s hard to see what feelings reach through the screen when you’re so inside it. Nathan.t.breton Delacey West @nikhilnyc chery… instagr.am/p/CqBURI2vnLM/

Fine cut of #SeeThis delivered! We chopped 45 seconds out of a twelve minute cut. The amazing magic you find in the editing room is mind-blowing. Thanks @slamstagrams for your thinking outside the box. Super fun collaborating with you. instagr.am/p/CqN9DuHL2nM/

TIME TO CELEBRATE! I thought this rewrite of my pilot “…because we’re family” was going to kill me. I suffered through it so much, wanting to give up on it completely. I couldn’t see my way through. It’s been almost a year since I tried my hand at th… instagr.am/p/CqQxFbZvsmv/

Wow, I did not think I would get my US Citizenship before directing my next feature. In 2015, soon after I finished shooting my third feature, ONE DROP, later renamed BLOOD HUNTERS, I started applying for my Green Card. It took a year and a half (and no… instagr.am/p/CqtOHr9v_Tz/

Cut #8. Thanks @slamstagrams for your patience and perseverance to get this right. Cut out ANOTHER 40 seconds. It never gets old how magical it feels when we come up with an out of the box solution to a problem with only the footage we have. #SeeThis … instagr.am/p/CrWc104PKug/

Comped night at the @bellagio. Celebrating getting our citizenship and applied for our passports. #datenight @hmkshots instagr.am/p/CrZuEvgrtex/

Finally at the end of the really long (8 years!) journey. Receiving our passports (2 days before travel, phew!) makes it official official. Now we can leave the country for as long as we want! And have to pay taxes forever. instagr.am/p/CreJFSFvIqN/

I’m extra excited about making the semi-finals for this program because it feels really good to be recognized for my directing. The whole reason I got into this industry and why I even started writing was IN ORDER TO DIRECT! And I’ve spent so much of my… instagr.am/p/CrtcYG2SxND/

Turning a blank page into a story that can change hearts and minds is no easy feat. Writers deserve to be compensated commensurately. #istandwithwga #wgastrong instagr.am/p/CrwiHErvEbe/

So glad I’m in town this week to support my fellow writers. #wgastrong @wgawest instagr.am/p/CsHnIsJSTSN/

I heard Biden was talking about the Writers Strike. Getting national and international attention. instagr.am/p/CsKbgLzvNhe/

What a Rollercoaster of a weekend experiencing and witnessing and learning in the @filmmakinglabstudios. Had to face my inflamed ego, and soften into letting the learning wash over me for the betterment my craft. It is always such a privilege to work wi… instagr.am/p/CsS5VpfOuY3/

So honored to be on THE #BlackList2023 with Corey Brown for our script AMERICAN DREAMS!! Thank you The Black List & Franklin Leonard!

Of all the achievements, goals and results I did and didn't accomplish this year, the most revolutionary acts I took that I am most proud of were: 1. drawing boundaries and leaving relationships that were hurting me 2. Taking a break for the first time in my life
