Don't be afraid to put some of your stuff out there and reach out to anyone and everyone. I got my start by posting scripts on Twitter and Reddit and DM'ing writers I admired and managers who repped writers I admired.
You'll get 400 no's and 99% of people ignoring you but there are the people that will help you throughout your career. Jon Hurwitz who made Cobra Kai and Harold and Kumar responded to me when I was 21 and I still work with him 15 years later and he's been insanely supportive throughout my career. You never know who will like your stuff!

It's on Disney+ in most places around the country. But I think it's exclusive to the Disney/Hulu family for the next decade or so!

So many classics to choose from. My mainstream favorite is Christmas Vacation.
My alt answer to be cool is KISS KISS BANG BANG.
And my odd favorite is "Just Friends." The line "he's from jersey he skis in his jeans" has been in my head for 20 years.

What advice would you give for someone who has some scripts under their belt and looking to get their foot in the door in the biz?

I don’t have Hulu. Is there a chance your film will end up on another platform?

Mostly Final Draft these days but when I started out I was using CELTX and it's almost identical.

Interesting, so it’s more about some bystanders watching the chaos unfold?

Since this is a sequel I'd definitely say the "everybody getting wasted" trope takes a backseat to the characters in this one. It's mostly about them trying to avoid the binge holiday and getting sucked into random shenanigans. But it's definitely a broad teen comedy.

I dunno I have a hard time enjoying the "everyone gets wasted" trope after dealing with someone being an alcoholic. Is this for laughs or is there more to it?

Sure! If you like r-rated stoner comedies that have killer owls and grandmas on cocaine.

Thanks for the well wishes.
I do lesson plans based on yearly curriculum that the school provides, which I believe they get from a WASC. I make my plans weekly.

Yes lesson plans. Not sure how autocorrect changed it to that but that's what I meant. Thanks for the reply. Best wishes going forward.

What's your opinion on the failed roll out of the MyEPR system?
How many overdue ACAs do you have in your queue?
Do you believe the return to vPC will herald a new era of report processing?
Are you accelerating, changing or losing? And why?

So if the Russians tipped their missiles with red reindeer noses then the apocalypse would be upon us?
