Thank you @thegotham for selecting Let’s Have a Day in this years Project Market 2026: U.S. Features in Development!

I have been working on this script since college and am excited to finally share! Inspired by real people and places, Let’s Have a Day takes place in one town but shares something we can all relate to - finding where we belong, chasing what matters, and connecting with people who shape us along the way.

Special thanks to co-writer @strasshola for helping bring it to life.

Who’s ready to make a movie in @oceancitymaryland?!

Congrats to my @scriptbutcher client @davidbonnett and co-writer @strasshola !

Their script LET’S HAVE A DAY was selected for @thegotham Project Market 2026: U.S. Features in Development. One of 80 projects. Gotham Week runs Sept. 27 through Oct. 3 in Brooklyn.

Recent Project Market scripts have been picked up by Focus Features and A24. 🤞

I got to consult on a few drafts of this script. One of the best to cross my desk in the last decade.

It also happens to be set in Ocean City, MD, where I visited every summer as a kid.

Reading a story set in a beach town I know that well, written with that much care was a wonderful gift.

Who’s ready to see another movie made in Ocean City?!

Grateful is an understatement. Yesterday marked the culmination of years of relentless dreaming as two of my worlds merged at the @filmindependent Spirit Awards. The Baltimorons closed its magical run — countless screenings, an Audience Award at @sxsw , and a John Cassavetes nomination.

Thank you @jayduplass for having faith and taking a chance on two random dudes from Baltimore who just want to make movies, and for bringing the talented @lizthelarsen for a joy ride around Charm City.

Thank you to Baltimore City and all her amazing artists, film makers, and the most passionate talented crew - the soul of the film is derived from everyone of you.

Thank you @independentfilmco for believing in this film, and sharing it with the world. It will live on forever, and now everyone can spend the holidays at my grannies house.

This weekend, Pee-wee as Himself earned another accolade with Best New Non-Scripted or Documentary series.

Forever thankful for @peeweeherman , the experience, and the stories and the friendship made along the way.
@mattpwolf , @aldenlola , @candacetomarken - It was an honor to work along side you. Congratulations @hbodocs

From College Park, to shooting sketches on random LA beaches, to the freezing streets of Baltimore, one of the most rewarding experiences has been watching my friend grow as an actor, writer, and producer - I’ll go anywhere with you Bub @strasshola

I’m so grateful to witness these stories find their audiences. To see resilience turn into recognition and to stand in rooms that once felt so far away is not taken for granted.

Until next time…

Great interview at our Signature Event where we had the opportunity to dive deeper into The Baltimorons film. The conversation shed light on the stories, creativity, and inspiration behind the project, and we were grateful to explore what this film means for Baltimore’s culture and future. The movie is now in theaters. Click the link in @davidbonnett bio to see the showtimes. taken in Baltimore, Maryland by @davidbonnett
