Some writers are great at coming up with ideas. Some are great at selling ideas. And some are great at realizing ideas. Very few writers are great at all three. No one can teach you how to come up with great ideas. And I am of the opinion that while good writers can hone their…
July 4, 2019: Super Secret Projects Revealed!
Finally. Over the course of the past few months, I've been making vague references to a total of SEVEN different projects I'm currently work on, all in varying stages of development. There's that comic book adaptation and that horror novel adaptation and my (formerly) Untitled Awesome Project and that small-town horror and that BIG comic…
November 17, 2018: The Projects, Poll, and Fried Chicken Update!
Well, this past Thursday afternoon, we pitched Untitled Awesome Project to a broadcaster. As you may (or may not) know, I'm especially excited about this one as it's a notion that (like Dark Matter) was many years in the making. And by "many years in the making" I mean that, like Dark Matter, I came…
Headed to series on another show…
Well, it's all systems go on this series I've been circling for a while. I've been in discussion with the show's creator for a couple of months now, brainstorming his vision and beating out a rough ten-episode first season narrative arc. This Monday, the writers' room convenes for a 4-5 story breaking session. Would love…
Projects and Priorities!
So let's take a look at my updated project slate: THAT NEAR-FUTURE PLANETARY EXPLORATION SERIESSeries bible and pilot script delivered to the broadcaster. So what's next? Well... And, yes, as much as I'd love to play Hungry Hungry Hippos instead, sadly, we don't have the choice. Here's hoping I'm back in action with David, Erin,…
Throatpunch!
First, let's start off with a great podcast interview I did with The Nerd Party's Lee Hutchison in which I cover everything from the challenges of breaking into the t.v. industry through Stargate and Dark Matter memories to what lies ahead. Nerd Party's Interview with Joseph Mallozzi Worth a listen: The Green Light Poll…
Projects In Play!
So, yesterday, I offered a rundown of My Top 10 Funnest Episodes, simply put — the ten episodes (out of the 100 or so episodes of television I'm credited on as a writer) I had the most fun scripting. I decided to offer up the flip side and give you My Top 10 Toughest Episodes…
On Meteor Aand Lightning Strikes & Lottery Wins!
My father was a student of the lottery. Growing up, I remember him sitting in the kitchen every night, assiduously reviewing data amassed from years of weekly draws, every set of winning numbers carefully transcribed in a set of dedicated books. He would pore over these like a cryptanalyst seeking out hidden patterns, looking to…
Projects on the go!
When someone asks me about the projects I'm presently working on, I'll give them a brief rundown to which they'll invariably respond: "But what if they all go?" Yes, theoretically, it's possible that, say, multiple projects could receive a simultaneous green light but, realistically, it's more likely that none of them receive the go-ahead. Which…
