Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈 2023!!!

 Firstly, I would like to thank and say that I am extremely grateful for all those that supported SAPIEN FILMS throughout the year! Throughout all the readings and contests… some of which bore fruit and those that didn’t! I appreciate you all for your support and time!

Next, I’d like to thank all my new colleagues who are making the promise of next year look so good!!! A special shout out to the agents and managers who said they would take a look at my work in the new year… HOORAY!!!

Then there’s those people who were just kind to me… Every little bit kept me going and gave me hope for my fellow humans (no matter how they looked or what they represented).

Finally, I like to thank my family (both fictive and real) for showing me LOVE and teaching me that GOD has no limits… It is us who must have Faith and be willing to step out on it!!!

This New Year let’s push forward in the ways that the Universe wants!!! E., Spock, HB, Craig, Courtney, Billy, Bones, and the rest of “Star Trek” past and present… Thank you so much and let’s boldly go where none of us have gone before!!!

Peace ✌️ and Blessings!!!

 Not sure what this says about my script, The Choice, but I was happy to receive Quarterfinal standing in the Page Turner Screenplays 100! 

Perhaps it will do better in the future!!!

A Christmas Poem by Brian M. Wixson aka Spock

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

My buddy, Spock, wrote a poem about his waiting in lines at the stores during the holidays. His writing partner in Philadelphia liked it so much that he and Spock have decided to turn it into a Christmas 🎅 script (minus the gun lol)!!! Here’s the text that he sent the crew. FYI I’m the Captain that he’s referring to!

Peace ☮️ and happy holidays

Already shared with the Captain. Figured share with the rest of the crew. Happy and Merry everyone!

It was the day before Christmas at the grocery store. 

The parking lot was packed you could fit no more.

Every space was taken they parked on the street. Like Harry Katz at a wedding so a tip he could beat.

Inside the store it was quite the sight. Everywhere were customers looking for a fight.

Holiday groceries sold out not in sight.

Everyone was mad ready to fight.

Along came a jolly man so fat with a beard.

Through the crowd he jostled to the cookie aisle he neared.

He reached for the Oreos to dunk in his drink.

Someone drew a gun on him said "Don't even think".

He put them down and headed for the door.

"You all have gone crazy, I'll shop here no more".

As he walked down the block to his car out of sight.

He muttered,"These people are crazy, I'll get drunk tonight."

November/December Update for SAPIEN FILMS

 Cheers to the year ahead!!!

A new rewrite of The Lepidopteran

 As the holiday season pushes forward, I have a little bit more time to work on old projects. The one that stood out; that never materialized was The Lepidopteran. I created so much for the series yet when I recently read the first script it was lacking. My writing style has improved so I have been spending time rewriting the script which was difficult because the only pdf that I had was a photocopy BUT thankfully Final Draft has a new feature that allows you to put old pdf copies into the latest version of the software. Mind you that this is a photocopy so I have been copy and pasting the script where I didn’t rewrite it completely!!! So my December is set! Rewrite The Lepidopteran and I have already planned to do a reading of it at the end of January or tentatively the beginning of February.

Keep busy and never settle!!!
