Why Coke Zero and not other forms of Coke, like Diet Coke?

I would post scripts based on IP I didn’t own. Like the Fast and Furious and Batman.I knew these scripts could never actually get made but I used them as calling cards for my writing. I figured if I could go viral I would have a shot at getting staffed on a show, and that eventually happened!

Hey!! What’s up! WWDD was my first paid writing job ever. Aside from answering questions 18 hours a day I was surprised how all consuming directing was to my life. With writing I could jump between projects with directing I was only focusing on one thing for about a year straight.

One more question, have you ever consider remaking west side story set in the 1980s but calling it West Side Corey were the two gangs are Corey Haim and Corey Feldman supporters respectively but cannot agree on which actor is better?

Oh, that sounds like a deplorable cocktail, but if it gets the creative juices flowing I'll take a double.

What do you mean by "posting fake scripts"?

Hey dude. We’ve worked together on a few things. WWDD and the 24 Hour Trevor Moore talk show.
You’ve obviously spent a ton of time on sets as a creative. What challenges in transitioning to directing surprised you?

We are using him as a bargaining chip, if Hulu gives us a third Binge we'll bring him back.

How I got my start was on a website I started called www.WeekendScripts.com where I would write a full script in a weekend and put it online. They weren't necessarily great but they would be based on news stories so people would be like, "how the fuck is their script about CURRENT NEWS STORY already?" And that got me a lot of notoriety for my speed.
Normally if I'm writing a script that I'm getting paid for I really like just getting a first draft out in a few weeks, knowing that I'm going to go back and change a million things. For me having the full draft in front of me is when I can start really analyzing what's working and what definitely isn't.

It's a good question! One I'm asked all the time. I actually don't do drugs at all. I smoked weed a bit in high school and college but other than that I'm mostly a Bud Light and Coke Zero kind of guy.

How long did it take you to write your first script?
What kind of schedule do you put yourself on when writing?

So many incredible ones. My hotel was next to Pastabilities so I had the riggies there 4x a week at least. The York was pretty great too. A little farther out in Liverpool my favorite bar is the Retreat, also incredible chicken riggies.
We just had the premiere after-party at Three Lives arcade bar and that was awesome food and games.
Overall everyone working in the bars and restaurants in Syracuse was so nice and supportive of the movies, it's really awesome to spend months at a time there. And I'm originally from Long Island so I'm more comfortable in NY anyway.

What were some of your favorite bars and restaurants while in Syracuse, besides Dinosaur BBQ?

I’ll dabble in Diet Coke too. I’m not a purist. Especially since the formula and can change of the Zero.
