Haunted Hotel
Writer
Haunted Hotel Season 2 is out, and I got to write this weird/unhinged piece for Netflix socials. Here's my own behind the scenes:
1. This is the first script I've ever submitted to Netflix that was accepted on the 1st draft.
2. I have no contact with these projects after the script is in, so I don't know if they'll resemble what I wrote when they come out, or if they get shot at all.
3. This one has a surprising amount of what I wrote, with great punch-ups and personalizations from (I'm assuming) Jimmi and the show's creator, Matt Roller.
4. I wrote Matt Roller into the script without knowing if he would agree to be in it.
5. I wrote "a gallon of milk and a treadmill". Tubs of yogurt is better.
6. I wrote Jimmi referring to himself in the third person fully expecting that to get tossed.
7. Only 20% of the success of my Netflix work has to do with my scripting. It's 50% a strong concept from the brilliant creatives I work with at Netflix and 90% the level of commitment from the celebrity talent, and Jimmi gave 300% 100% of the time.
8. I don't know how percentages work.
