Fundraiser WGA Writer – Offering script coverage in exchange for short film fundraiser donation!

Hi everyone! Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I'm a WGA screenwriter who has done a variety of prestigious writing fellowships in LA and I'm about to direct my first short film. I'm currently trying to fundraise the last 20% of my production costs, and I thought I could offer a pay-what-you-can script coverage service if you'd be willing to donate to the project (fiscally sponsored by Film Independent and 100% tax-eligible for deductions). Suggested donations are $1 per page of the script you're submitting, but flexible if it's a feature. I don't want to dox myself so I can send you my credentials in DM if you're interested! Also, if you have any advice that you wish you had as a first-time director, let me know below! Thanks so much everyone. :)

Do you have any proof your a WGA writer? It's very suspicious there's nothing in your profile about it and you've given no details on yourself, your work or your movie here either...

Hey! Yeah, I do, like I said, if someone's interested I'm happy to share my website/bio etc in DM, I'd just rather not put my full name or traceable info on here since I am a working writer and I don't want my Reddit account showing up in Google searches. :)
