Happy New Year! We made it through 2020! Woohoo!

If you're a writer, a movie lover, or an avid reader, I invite you to join me on my annual quest to read #100screenplays2021

These are the scripts I'll read this month:

  1. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
  2. Soul
  3. Bill & Ted Face the Music
  4. Judas and the Black Messiah
  5. Promising Young Woman
  6. Emma
  7. The Little Things
  8. I'm Thinking of Ending Things
  9. The King of Staten Island
  10. Never Rarely Sometimes Always
  11. One Night in Miami
  12. Bliss

#100Screenplays 2021 reading challenge by the numbers:

Total yet-to be produced scripts: 5

Total produced scripts: 12

2021 Grand total: 17

What I learned: 

A strange silver lining (if we can call it that) of the pandemic is that when production stopped, it made space for stories that may not have been greenlit otherwise...and several are quite good. A few...not so much. Out of respect for my fellow screenwriters, I'll keep my opinion to myself.
