Nik: Sit, settle in, soak in the creative bath, let the words find you, ride the ride, let it unfold, let it be great, let it be average, breathe life in and let it live.
Alex: Are you starting a new pilot?
Nik: Yep.
Alex: Yesssss. I can’t wait to read this bad boy. Is this on your new pilot playlist?
Nik: #1 and currently on repeat.
Alex: Do you always make a playlist for every project you write?
I’m obsessed with… Animal by Midnight Faces
Alex: My favorite thing about LA is that I am constantly surrounded by other artists who inspire me. I love learning about the different process each of them has when working on a project. A friend of mine is the lead singer in this LA-based Duo called Midnight Faces and I am obsessed with their song Animal right now. It's on repeat when I have a long drive. Their video is cool too. It's just creepy enough ...
Go Get It
Nik: Ball til I fall.
I’m obsessed with… My Song 5
Alex: You'll want to turn your speakers up for this one...
What’s Your Favorite?
Alex: Do you have a favorite movie? I feel like I should know this. And while we’re at it, what’s your favorite song? And color? And dessert?
Nik: I actually don’t have a favorite movie. I love everything Wes Anderson makes. Everything David O. Russell does. The Coen Brothers. John Hughes gave me a whole lot of happy. Christmas Vacation is a holiday tradition. I usually can’t rewatch the movies that impacted me the most because I don’t want to ruin the initial experience. So no. No favorite movie. Or at least not one. Song… hmm… it changes every day. I always feel pretty good about
ONE YEAR BABY!
Holy shitballs a year has passed? Wtf?! Happy Anniversary amentoramuse!
Nik: Congrats Alex! The first year in LA is the hardest – they say if you make it a year, you’ll make it.
Alex: It’s a little freaky how fast it went. Remember when we first hung out on the rooftop at Hotel Erwin and you wore SPF 50 and a hat?
All About That Bass
Nik: I can’t stop listening.
Alex: This reminds me that we need a night out dancing ASAP!
Nik: I’m too old for that.
Alex: No remember when you and your friends asked me to get you into a club?
Red, White, and the Blues
Alex: I’m sad. Actually, I’m just homesick, but being homesick makes me sad. So I guess that does make me sad. I just feel like I’ve missed out on so much back at home. My brother won State for football, broke his hand and got surgery, graduated High School, turned eighteen and is leaving for college at the end of summer. The list could go on and on. And I’ve missed it all. Even some of my friends are getting married, having kids, or getting their own places. It’s weird and
The Choice. Part Two.

Alex: This is one of the songs on my pilot playlist that I just can not get enough of!
