With Lessons from the Screenplay, I make videos that analyze movie scripts to examine exactly how and why they are so good at telling their stories. Part educational series and part love letter to awesome films, Lessons from the Screenplay aims to be a fun way to learn more about your favorite films and help us all become better storytellers. I’ll be releasing new videos every couple weeks, and taking suggestions about what scripts I should look at in future episodes.

Rules former presidents have to follow.

Reddit shared a Grunge article showing "Rules former presidents have to follow -- Being president of the United States is one of the most coveted jobs in the country, as evidenced by the many candidates we hear from every election year. Getting to choose the direction of the country is pretty appealing, even if it is a ton of work to both get the job and to actually do it.

But one thing no one tells you is that the job doesn't stop when the presidency is over. Even former presidents are expected to do a lot, like attend events, raise funds, give speeches, and do tons of interviews about what it was like to be commander-in-chief.

The job also stays with them in other ways, too, because once someone stops being president, they're part of an elite club of ex-presidents for the rest of their life, and that also comes with a lot of restrictions. Yeah, just because you were the commander-in-chief, that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. From driving cars to using cell phones, these are the rules that former presidents have to follow..."

IMPS The Relentless is a sci-fi mockumentary that released it’s first chapter, titled Davenport Gateway, of a seven chapter feature film. Members of the fan film TROOPS started work on a sequel but quickly realized that IMPS would take on it’s own direction and theme dissimilar to TROOPS.

Davenport Gateway is the transition piece to separate from TROOPS and in to a guided tour aboard the Heavy Class Carrier The Relentless. Each chapter is to portray the duties and characters that build up the Relentless battle group, promoting them as having 'the best damn job in the galaxy.'..."
