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 swirling around in my head that could be just as exciting, maybe even more.

But this isn’t just a filmmaker question - it’s a writer question. A universal one.

Every writer I know has a dozen ideas bouncing around in their head at any given time. The challenge is figuring out which one deserves your time, energy, and focus.

Sooner or later, you ask yourself:

• Which idea has the strongest hook?
• Which one would you be excited to write for the next three to six months?
• Which one could become a movie? A book? A reader’s favorite?
• Which one just won’t let go of you?

If you’re wrestling with that “what’s next?” feeling - whether it’s picking your next project or revisiting one that hasn’t yet lived up to its potential - I’d love to help.
