This Wasn’t in the Script
This Wasn’t in the Script is where I unpack the real, messy, opinion-filled side of working in media and filmmaking. After nearly 15 years in the industry — from newsrooms to short films, corporate gigs to classrooms — I’ve seen a lot, learned a bit, and made peace with the chaos. This blog is part reflection, part therapy, part rant. Some of it might be helpful. Some of it might just be me processing in public.
Either way, thanks for reading.
