August 2026 Creator Diary (Patreon)

Hello lovely Patrons!

This month I've been working on a number of exciting projects!

THE PRINCE - IN HOLLYWOOD!We had a staged reading of my play The Prince at Dynasty Typewriter Theatre.

You can see the recording here!

It was a spectacular night, the audiences loved both shows and the recording is a great quality. Everyone in the cast did well. It was my directing debut, so I was nervous, but the feedback was really positive. It was Vivian Wilson's acting debut so I was honoured she trusted me with that. She did amazingly, as I knew she would. We'd love to do a full run of the show either in New York or Los Angeles and hopefully this will help us attract interest and investors. Here's some photos from the show, courtesy of Andrew Max Levy!

PHILOSOPHY TUBEI've banked nine scripts for the next season! I'm running towards the finish line to bank a couple of more, but soon I'll have to start preparing the actual production of them; that means booking crew and venues. I think we'll be back in the studio to start filming in October, which means the first episode of the new season will be out before the end of the year.

PROJECT 20MMy feature film project that we're asking for $20m to make. The sales companies we went out to came back and said that if we want $20m we need to attach [FAMOUS ACTOR] so the next step will probably be to send him the script and see what he thinks. If he likes it and wants to be in it then financing becomes a lot easier. We may also be able to take it to some smaller studios to see if they want a piece.

PROJECT 3MThe other feature I'm writing. I'm about 50 pages into it and it's going well!

THE HUNTEDLilly Wachowski and Micky Mahoney wrote a screenplay called The Hunted that had a rehearsed reading also at Dynasty Typewriter this week! I'm in it. It's been wonderful to be in a room with so many cool and dedicated trans people, and some awesome allies. That's been very healing. Great to watch the masters at work too, I'm learning a lot.

THE SCAPEGOATNo movement on this but my manager is keen for me to finish it so I'm going to try and get another draft out by the end of the year.

WHAT'S INSPIRED ME THIS MONTHBeing around so many cool trans people for The Hunted and The Prince is really lovely, it's a very special atmosphere. I'm writing this from the green room and it's wonderful. I'm in therapy too, finally, which is good and healthy.

WHAT'S GOT ME STRESSEDThe political situation in the UK is depressing. Trans people have been banned from public spaces including toilets and the rumour is hospitals will be next. It's grim. It makes it hard to work on creative pursuits and it's very stressful.

WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING/READING/LISTENING TOKojo Koram's book The Next Fix is all about drug policy and the future of it. I'm really enjoying it, I might make a Nebula-exclusive video on drugs during the next season. I finished She-Ra and the Princesses of Power too and loved the ending, wow. After enjoying The Wow! Signal so much I went back and listened to some more older Muse albums, which I enjoyed but none quite as much as Wow Signal.
