Lois Weber: More than a Writer-Director She’s the Auteur Activist of Early Cinema – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, April 2025

Film studies courses often still fawn all over Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith.  Rather than wallowing in the racist messages of Birth of a Nation, professors should focus on the work of Lois Weber, whose use of screenwriting in her activism lends continued relevance to her work. In an era where we bask in the social justice messages of Get Out, by writer-director Jordan Peele, it seems only right to connect the dots from Weber to Peele. So, to celebrate this 50th column, we’re celebrating Weber.

Her Career Outlasted the Hays Code: Kathryn Scola – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, March 2025

In a career that first challenged - and then outlasted the Hays Code - Kathryn Scola succeeded in writing the kind of defiant women that major stars like Barbara Stanwyck longed to play – and often did.  Born in New Jersey in 1891 to immigrant parents (her mother from Ireland/ father from Italy) Scola saw women struggle financially in her early life. Perhaps their strength encouraged her to both try her hand at making a living as a writer and use that platform to elevate such female-focused stories.

Amber Tamblyn – actress, director, author, poet, activist, wonderful human being – is back to break down a seminal piece of art from her life…LEGEND (1985). Together, we take a look at a key scene from one of Ridley Scott’s weirdest films!

The brilliant Amber Tamblyn – actress, director, author, poet, Substacker, and activist – takes a break from doing, like, *everything* to discuss how she's surviving life as an artist in the 21st century. This artist-on-artist conversation moved and inspired me in so many different ways.

#AndreyTarkovsky was born #OTD, yet I want to commemorate his talented co-author, an Italian poet, writer, and artist, #ToninoGuerra

"When I was 7 or 8 years old, the wind blew all the flowers off the apricot tree, and those petals flew into the house. They covered the dining table like a tablecloth. And the whole family had lunch standing up that day. No one sat at the table so as not to disturb this beautiful sight."

Guerra reminds us that #screenwriting can be a form of poetry.
