The 2018 announcement for MAYA LORD, to be directed by #ROLANDEMMERICH and written by moi. Roland's hiring of me (a woman!) to write this epic, romantic, gruesome, immensely masculine feature film changed my career. Hope it's made soon! Grateful to him forever. #letterboxd#movies#screenwriting See below.

Added to this, Roland was (is) incredibly kind. Really smart about history. And appreciative of work done well. We sat in the beautiful library in his Shangri-la home in Hollywood and he'd read my pages back to me with so much pleasure. My favorite director to work with!
Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
Ok #Filmmaking#screenwriting#movies#amwriting folk, here's the first of my Sundays 🧵about a long career writing in the film biz. RT'd below is my #stevenspielberg story, my first pitch, first time out. About the Bronte sisters, at a time when you could sell histories... 1/

#StevenSpielberg turns *80* this year?? He DOES?! (My first ever script pitch sale was to Steven Spielberg, who said yes in a limo on the way to the Oscars. Changed my life!)

..second pitch to producers at the Hotel Bel Air, with the Kennedy family (yes) seated behind me. I HAD to hold attention. And I did. Next week another story from the Hollywood trenches. Bye. 6/6
Oh, ps- the producers had me pitch to Diane Keaton, who wanted to direct. Chaotic Italian cafe, I was nearly screaming. She in impeccable leather vest and bowler hat. Nicest person. Too loud, crazy lunchtime agents in BH. We gave up and talked about her dog. The End. 7/7?
