Craft Services

The snack table (in the hallway) where the crew actually meets each other.

On a set, craft services is where you figure out who everybody is bit by bit. Here: the things outside the work that are still very much the work. The recipes. The books. The playlists. The (Chicago) spots. This is a room kept deliberately lite and fun, a chance for you to know me, bit by bit.

The Recipe

The chocolate chip cookie that won.

Name the cookie recipe. Not the generic Toll House version, *your* version. The one with the browned butter or the flaky salt or the night-long rest. A sentence of why it wins. A link to the recipe if it's public, or a "drop me a line and I'll send it" if it's not.

The Reading List

What's open on the nightstand right now.

Three to five books. Actual current reading. A novel, a memoir, a work of criticism, a trade book on the industry, a cookbook. The list from the voice map, Sophie Kinsella next to Toni Morrison, is the register to hit.

The Building Playlist

The soundtrack for making a forest.

A short description of what's on rotation while you work. A Spotify or Apple Music link if you have a public playlist for this. A line of context, what the playlist is for, what the mood is.

The Chicago Map

The spots I defend in court.

Five Chicago places you actually love and go to. A restaurant. A bookstore. A neighborhood. A museum. A barbershop or salon you trust. One line each. The geographic specificity is the whole point.

The Watch List

What I just saw and can't stop thinking about.

One film or TV show, currently. Not a capsule review. A sentence on the one specific thing it's teaching you about the work. (The voice map note, "not just watching, studying," applies here.)

The YouTube Channel

Sunshine Moxie on YouTube.

The beginning of the Sunshine Moxie cultural commentary show, Cultural Curiosity and Commentary in video form. Currently in development. Existing work and older videos already live on the channel.
