I ❤️ LA

When I spoke with filmmaking students at Yale and UPenn back in November, I promised to host a Filmmaker’s Office Hours for them - so here it is y’all!But I’m also going to open up limited spots for non-university attendees as well.
Just comment here “I want to join your Zoom!” And then I’ll send it to you via DM.
(For some reason IG hides some DMs so I’m not seeing all the requests, sorry!)

As always, I’ll invite a couple surprise guests to add to the fun and the conversation.
See you soon!

Here’s the trailer for S2The Last Thing He Told Me.It was wonderful to work with the incomparable Jennifer Garner again, along with a stellar cast of Angourie Rice,Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, David Morse, John Noble, and more. Season 2 launches 2/20/2026, and can’t wait for you to see my episode when it drops!

Meet Jesse Quinones (Waterloo Road, Inside Number 9, Cagefighter, Calloused Hands, Cooper & Fry) and Jude Weng (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Matlock, Only Murders in the Building, Twisted Metal, Ghosts, Frasier, Finding ‘Ohana) - the directing powerhouses who we at WBD Access have been lucky enough to have back onboard as the session facilitators for the WBD Access x Waterloo Road Directors programme.
 
We’ve just wrapped on the virtual element of the programme, which this year has been extended to 11 Directors. Jude & Jesse led some incredible sessions on essential episodic directing skills to enhance craft as a director for a show like Waterloo Road. They looked at the analysis of Waterloo Road’s cinematic language, how to be a great shadow, working in Post-Production and much more!
 
As the next step in the coming days, each director will have the opportunity to pitch their lookbook to a panel including Jude & Jessie.
 
We look forward to facilitating this unique space for the directors to step outside their comfort zones, showcase their vision, and receive meaningful feedback from an exceptional pitch panel.
 
Watch this space!

Thank you Susan Youssef (Yale College Film Advisor) for inviting me to be a guest speaker at Yale. What a joy to meet students, faculty, and staff so passionate about filmmaking and storytelling.

From dinner at Silliman College with @yalecinemat and @thesilligram, to an elegant afternoon tea hosted by Head of College Anjelica Gonzalez at @davenportcollege, then Director’s Office Hours at @yaleccam, followed by a spirited conversation about identity and resilience at @yaleaacc hosted by Dean Joliana Yee.

Grateful as well for a spontaneous conversation with MFA students from the David Geffen School of Drama thanks to Tamilla Woodard and @yalerep @yaledrama. And special thanks to @hellosarahlo and @evenbetterstill for taking me on a tour of your beautiful campus and patiently waiting while I asked you to pose by my favorite trees 🌳

Until next time, Yale - thanks for the warm welcome!

#tsitpseason3 reaches 70 Million Viewers in 70 Days…. Still pinching myself at all the love coming in for my episode😭 (and the bathtub scene). I just had so much fun rewatching S3 , I’ve got to give a big shoutout to the wonderful Jamie Kennedy @pseudocinema for the masterful editing!

I’ve been getting a lot of requests to speak with emerging filmmakers lately. Rather than doing 1:1 sessions, I thought it might be more meaningful (and fun) to gather as a group (since most of us wrestle with the same questions anyway.) So next weekend, I’m hosting free “office hours” for filmmakers; an open space to connect, ask questions, or just say hi.
Some themes we’ll explore:

✨ How to Keep Hope Alive During an Industry Contraction
✨ The Power of Small Wins: Building Creative Momentum
✨Finishing What You Start:Begin With the End in Mind

Limited to 100 attendees — first come, first served.
DM me for the Zoom link.
Let’s go🔥

Thank you Susan Youssef and the Center for Collaborative Arts & Media for facilitating this event, I can’t wait to hangout with all the future filmmakers at Yale!

Thanks to @dramaleague for inviting me to teach another workshop! As always, my teaching is voluntary/gratis - I believe the best way to honor my mentors (Bethany Rooney, Ron Howard, Ian Bryce, Jon Favreau, and more) is by paying it forward. Any fees associated with these workshops go directly to supporting the wonderful organization that is the Drama League. It is an honor to teach and train the next generation of directors!Qui docet discit!
