Aside from getting to see something I wrote actually get made which was incredible. I would say the best part was working with so many hilarious people and just watching them riff and improv. Getting to be around the funniest people in the world for 3 months is an unforgettable experience.

I am sure it would be an unimaginable experience. The reward of all the hard work coming together. Thanks for the response.

What's your number one actionable tip for better scripts, that anyone writing a script can implement, right away?

For me the most helpful thing I learned was to give every character “a thing”, some very specific trait. Whether they are very into board games, or just found out their 23 and me details and are trying out a bunch of new accents. This helps guide each character to feel unique and individual whereas a lot of scripts you can take the names off and you’d have no clue which person is talking because they are all similar. And in the final draft you might dial it back but it’s good during the writing process to have a guiding light for each character.

What was the process like to pitch your movie to Hulu?

This movie is a sequel to 2019's "The Binge." With that one, I wrote the script on spec for free and sent it around to a bunch of producers. And nobody cared for a very long time! Eventually this newer production company American High had optioned it and sent it to Hulu and they decided to make it. With the sequel I wrote out a couple ideas for what I thought it could be and they picked The Christmas one!
