Hi Reader, If you’ve ever finished a screenplay draft and thought… “Is this any good?”“Is this ready?”“Why does the middle feel… weird?” …you’re not alone. That’s exactly where screenplay coverage comes in. What is “coverage”? In the simplest terms, script coverage is professional feedback on your screenplay, usually delivered as a written report. The goal is to give you a clear, unbiased read on what’s working, what’s not working, and most importantly… WHY. Good coverage doesn’t just say...

Hi Reader, A few weeks back, I got a call from a producer I know asking for help on a script. So between prepping for the BC theatrical premiere of Contamination and traveling for the screening, I was suddenly also deep in a rush rewrite on a feature-length screenplay. The producer had a hard deadline, and I had to deliver at the start of this past week. And I’ll be honest - with the screening landing right in the middle of it all, I had even less time than I wanted. But I’ve never missed a...

Hi Reader, The last few weeks have been a whirlwind! Between final prep, packing, and travel, I was all-in on getting ready for the Vancouver theatrical premiere of Contamination - and it was 100% worth it. Seeing the film on the big screen with a new audience was incredible, especially knowing how much heart and work went into every scene. But what really made the weekend special? The people. Unexpected Moments, Real Connections In addition to the premiere, I had the chance to meet and chat...

Hi Reader, You ever watch a movie and think… “This should have worked. The pieces were all there. So what went wrong?” That’s exactly what happened to me at the tail end of my winter holidays. I finally had a free evening to do something I rarely get to do during the year: absolutely nothing. Well… almost nothing. After a steady diet of holiday movies with the kids and way too much stuffing, I decided it was time for something a little different. So I fired up a movie I’d been meaning to...

So before we head into 2026, I wanted to take a minute to reflect, share some personal highlights, and let...

Hi Reader, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! The holiday rush is winding down. The wrapping paper’s been tossed, the turkey’s carved (again), and your fridge is probably full of leftovers and half-eaten desserts. And honestly? That’s perfect. Because this whole slow stretch between Christmas and New Year’s isn’t just for food, movies, and football (though, yes to all of those). It’s also one of the best times of the year to pause and recharge. Here’s your gentle reminder: Rest is not a...

Hi Reader, As we wrap up the year, I just want to say thank you - from the bottom of my heart. The holiday season always brings a mix of reflection and anticipation. We look back at everything we’ve done (and everything we didn’t quite finish), and we look ahead to what could be. And if you're anything like me, your mind is probably already drifting toward the stories you'll write next year… the ones tugging at your imagination when you're supposed to be resting. 😅 But here’s the truth:Before...

Hi Reader, This time last year, I had no idea Contamination would take off the way it did. From festivals to awards to the messages I’ve gotten from so many of you - it's been a wild, surreal, deeply rewarding ride. And honestly, I’m just grateful. Not just for the film’s success, but for what it reminded me of: 💥 Stories matter. 🎭 Characters connect us. 🧠 Creative work is hard - but oh so worth it. So as we head into the holidays, I want to pay it forward. If you’ve been sitting on a script...

Hi Reader, At every Contamination screening so far, someone has asked me the same thing:“What’s next?” And I get it. As a writer and filmmaker, it’s the most exciting question there is. It’s also one of the hardest to answer. Do I jump straight into writing a Contamination sequel? Plenty of people who’ve seen the movie want one - and I’ll admit, I’ve got some killer ideas for where the story could go next. Or do I pivot to something entirely new? I’ve got a few high-octane action scripts...
