Thank you! “Cocaine Grandma” would be a good title for a spinoff

The can change is infuriating.

Two immediate family members are alcoholics and I dabble with my own addiction issues. I found both were hilarious and enjoyable. Everything is “over the top” enough that you’re not really going to be led down the darker pain of addiction thought path.

Cocaine grandma was my favorite part I think.

Haven’t had Sprite in probably 30 years but do drink BL often, and I have to admit this sounds delicious

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.

I’d say my biggest advice always is to just finish. Even if you think it’s a hot pile of shit. I think a lot of people get stuck in a trap of trying to perfect the first 20 pages and are too hard on themselves. Once you have a full 3 act script you really start to see what the movie is. It’s also important to remember that if you’re lucky enough to sell something every single step of the way there will be notes. Studio, producer, director, actors, so the draft will probably unrecognizable by the time it gets to the screen.

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

This is so good to hear. I challenged myself this year to write at least two scripts by writing a page a night - anything else you'd recommend to improve my writing speed or just keeping on track during rough months?

No! The first time I heard about it was on this thread a few hours ago. But that’s amazing, I’ll have to look that up. Binge 3: This Time In Ireland? @hulu

The Irish government accidentally legalized a rake of drugs for one day a few years back. Was this any inspiration for your story?

But.. beer with coke is delicious, one of my favorite summertime drinks.
Edit: to all the butthurt beer gatekeepers, just try it. It's a popular drink in some countries.

It shows in your writing and movie that you've obviously never done actual drugs.

Yeah it’s essentially a comedic take on the Purge. It’s the fun side of the Purge! Unless your idea of fun is murdering people in the street then I guess the Purge is the fun Purge for you.

Isn't this just a different take on "The Purge"? Following the people who binge on drugs rather than going for violence?
