Reply to comment by Hamilton_Brad in I'm writer/director Jordan VanDina and my directorial debut "It's a Wonderful Binge" starring Danny Trejo, Kaitlin Olson, Tim Meadows and Nick Swardson premieres on Hulu tomorrow. Ask me anything about writing, directing, or about what a great guy Danny Trejo is! by [deleted]
All through social media. I would tweet full scripts out and put them on Reddit. Scripts that had IP that I didn't own. I knew I could never get them made but they would get attention.
I started this website www.WeekendScripts.com where I would take a news story like the Fyre Festival and write a full script in a weekend and people would be so stunned that there was already a movie script about a news story that came out a few days before that it would go viral. Wasn't necessarily that good but it was fast!
Once I had a few viral scripts, I got an agent and then started writing originals like "The Binge"

this is absolutely fantastic. How many hours were you logging on each weekend scripts on average?
What was your mentality while you were cranking them out? Was it to both practice your craft as well as publish online consistently with the belief that it would eventually get noticed?
What gave you the faith to keep publishing? This must have been untold thousands of hours of work!
To summarize:
How many average hours on each?
What was your mindset and goal?
What kept your spirit alive without any guarantees of success?
Bravo! totally inspired by this.
