I think I will do this one. I had intended to do the one in April, but didn't. And I just finished writing a pilot, so this is perfect timing. Well, except for the fact that I'm on vacation.
Just write a story that stands a chance of being produced. The OP is clear. There is only one stipulation and that is that the story be about being trapped in a taxi cab. We're free to interpret that in any way we wish.
As a vehicle for hire, yes a tuk-tuk would be permitted
Wait, why would someone was an African warrior who uses clicking sounds instead of dialog? It'd be hard to understand.
Oh, I bet that most don't (I didn't) know that it can also mean (in addition to the one that EVERYONE knows)
1. To give the wrong gratuity in a foreign situation 2. Open ended taxi in Thailand.
And I bet you're gonna get a lot of the sexual content tuk-tuk sort of stories. No porn tho, right??
I wouldn't do porn even if I could, but, I don't necessarily want to read one too. Although, truth be told, I've never read a porn script, I have no clue how detailed they are. Now, I'm curious...
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
By "low budget" I meant that there isn't a big budget for this, but I didn't mean that it should be "low budget" as in 'campy' or poorly done. As Dustin has pointed out, I'm looking for a script that can be produced on a small budget. I'm looking for a script that some sh*thole can take from the site, slap his/her name on and pass off as his/her own really easily.
The seatbelt that you really didn't need, but your friend insisted you wear, can jam such that it doesn't release and you are in the middle of traffic and it is just a bad scene all around because the 'girl of your dreams' turns out to not be a 'girl' and man, I didn't need to be taken back there again. Thanks Wes. You'd lose if this was a contest.
I think I will do this one. [...] except for the fact that I'm on vacation.
You get up five minutes earlier than everyone else and knock out two pages a day. Vacation isn't an excuse for non-participation. And, points (which don't exist since this is an exercise and not a contest) will be deducted from your non-existant score since you are on vacation and exposed to more varied ideas and experiences than the rest of us drones hunched over our computers in our day jobs.
I'm hoping to give this a whirl. I was co-winner of the January 2014 OWC, which was one of the highlights of my writing life (which may suggest I haven't had much of a writing life!) but the script I did for that was also the last one I wrote!
I've been busy writing short stories since 2014 and it'll be interesting to see if I can get back on the screenwriting horse...
welcome simon, just remember to read the posted scripts as well. many seem to forget that.
for me I've had a day of thinking - not much has arisen, i seem to be out of the habit.
Anyway, eventually I've had an idea!! whoopee
what i love about the OWC is that we don't have time to think, well not much.
my idea isn't new, not radical, and may be obvious. so, to me, the real question i have, is can i make an ordinary idea sing?..as i don't write much these days probably not, but i appreciate the chance to try.
