It’s only wrong if you serve me one without an accompanying handy.

Thanks for the response! Man, what a journey that must've been finally getting your big break! As a screenwriter, what would you say are some ways (practical or even impractical) that I can help Directors see and be inspired by my virtual shit-ton of very specific creative vision I have for my screenplays without being the annoying writer on set? Can notes from me include visual CGI samples I whipped up in my animation app at home? Or would I just be better off trying to become a Director? lol

The person you’re replying to was not being serious. Everyone knows you only mix bud light and sprite.

The short answer is yes of course. The long answer is when I first moved to LA I lived at the Oakwoods which is filled with child stars hoping to get on a show for pilot season. My neighbor was Corey Haim and I saw him at the convenience store in the complex 3 different times buying D BATTERIES. And if I saw it 3x imagine how many times he was actually buying them. I wonder everyday what he was doing with those. Boom box? That’s what my movie would be about. Thank you.

I doubt he meant at the same time but his brain obviously works differently than mine so who knows?

I had directed a bunch of comedy shorts through the years and I was on set everyday for Binge 1 shadowing the director Jeremy Garelick. So when it came time to do the second one he really went to bat for me and told Hulu I could handle it. They were super supportive and let me go as crazy as I wanted. And if you watch the movie you’ll see it’s pretty wacky! I think directing definitely helps maintain the MOST control, but there are still notes from the studio and the actors and producers but ultimately you do have the final say in most decision making. As long as you aren’t some kind of ego maniac jerk! And with a movie like this I think funniest idea wins out. I was willing to hear any and all pitches.

I just watched it for the first time pretty recently and loved it. RDJ’s line about inventing dice was such a weird throw away line that made me laugh so hard and I can’t stop thinking about.

Hi, 3-part question: How did you break into Directing? How long did it take you to do that? Have you found being the Director of your work was the only way to ensure your creative vision remains intact from script to screen, free from unnecessary rewrites?

I’m a bit late to The party, but is it available in Europe (Denmark) too? No Hulu here

I’ve never been afraid of having my ideas stolen because I feel like at this point there is such a massive digital trail of where and who you send it to that it would be pretty hard to steal. (Also my ideas aren’t that good) I’m sure it still happens but I’d rather take the risk and send it out then fear getting it stolen. The reward is definitely greater than the risk!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is such a great movie. The chemistry RDJ and Val Kilmer had was so fun to watch.

When you start out do you just send your scripts to everyone? How do you avoid having your ideas stolen?

A guy asked me if they’re an athletic brand and I said yes plus they make batteries and bulk toilet paper.
