Quoted from khamanna Congrats to all. And to those whom writers loved. Great shorts on such a difficult subject. Dustin, I was sure yours was Cotla Bell - judging by the title alone. I still think it is. James Barron - HAHAHA - in your face, yeah.

Yeah, I thought Dustin wrote that one too.  Looks like most of the ones I liked were up there.  I did like some of the ones that didn't make it.  I think the majority of these with some tweaks and tightening could get made.  The variety was good.  I had fun.

Nope, Cotla Bell isn't anything to do with me... but I was quite happy for people to think that it was. It's rare that I write OWCs in British English. I'll usually use the US version, as much as I know of it.

Dustin, you should get an award for most unique character name.  Pneuma.  Where did that come from?

I looked up the Greek word for air and made a name out of it. At first, the guy died in the cab, suffocated - hence the name. The extra bit with the head cutting off was just so the make-up people could get stuck into a fun project. Every filmmaker should have a convincing decapitation in their portfolio.

Quoted from Jeremiah Johnson Dustin, you should get an award for most unique character name.  Pneuma.

Yeah, I was taken with that name. The script was one of my Recommends.

Congrats to Richard and Eric! You guys earned it!

And congrats to everyone else too. This was so much fun. I am never skipping an OWC.

Quoted from Khamanna James Barron - HAHAHA - in your face, yeah.

I'm starting to remember. It's all flooding back... did I...  yep, I robbed a convenience store that night. Oh well, least when the police find me I can say I got Writers Kinda Liked.

Congrats to the winners, two scripts I thoroughly enjoyed.

And great job everyone who entered, we all wrote a script in a week, and I thought that, in general, they were quite good.

I can finally respond to feedback now! I have been waiting for this day!

Congrats to the winners and all other participants for a great OWC.

Well done to the winners! I didn't actually read them before I had voted but will do so!

Congrats Richard! Your script stood out to me just from the logline, for obvious reasons, and it got a nod in the vote from me too. It really is fertile ground. The first idea I had was about terrorist hackers loading a bomb into a self-driving car and remotely driving it and its hapless passenger closer and closer to some important target. The budget requirement had me nix that idea.

Congrats to everyone who entered as well. Really good quality all around. Unfortunately my out of country traveling robbed me of internet over the past few day. I wished I'd gotten the chance to read more, and I will if anyone sends me a request.

And thanks to Don as always for organizing this and everything else he does!

Congratulations to the winners.
All the best to everyone who made the effort to enter.

Congratulations to all the winners, runners-up and everyone who takes part. It may sound cheesy but I think everyone who has a go at these is a winner in my book. I hope my comments helped and didn't annoy too much!

I got a lot of comments that Taxi for Murphy wasn't trapped in a taxi.
If you step outside the box you'll realize Murphy was trapped between the red head and the dog that was rodgering him..

That's just me defending my Friday night script

Sorry, but, he wasn't trapped.  He could have stopped at any time.  Now, if she was raping him, I'd agree

Yeah, I'm just having fun with you.  But, if he's "stuck" in a cab, then I'm a a dinosaur on Godzilla's island...

Dan

Yeah, fight for it, Irish!

The script is only dead when you lay down your arms!
