Reply to comment by YouMeanMetalGear in I'm Jordan VanDina, I wrote and directed "It's a Wonderful Binge" the Christmas sequel on Hulu where all drugs are legal for one day but I started my career on Reddit posting fake scripts. AMA! by shrimptooth

It is! Aside from the critics that wrote that they loathe me and want me dead it’s been really great! Getting to see it go from a blank page to something on the front page of Hulu is really wild. Also getting to see it in a theater of people is awesome, really need more comedies in theaters. It’s so fun!

How did you pitch the first Binge movie? Did you have a look book or a finished first draft or just a logline?

Finished draft. I’ve sold around 5 scripts at this point and they’ve all been written first. Sure it’s annoying to do the work up front for free but once you have the script people know what it is and I think it avoids years of development when it’s coming from just a logline or a pitch.

Honestly, as someone who has now got into the swing of writing full scripts instead of perfecting 100 words over and over again.
