This was a rollercoaster. I hedged every dollar I have, including my house, on developing Destruna during Australia's worst COVID lockdowns. In the process I worked with Tom Felton, David Hayter, Kate Mulgrew, Cristina Vee and countless others. I had pitch meetings with Crunchyroll, HBO, Paramount, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Amazon and Netflix, all in pursuit of a greenlight.
Achieving billions of YouTube views couldn't prepare me for this. Let me take you on the full 2 year journey.
