3 pages just ins't enough for me to invest time into a story. But that's totally fine as I know some people can. I'll be out but will try to get in some reads all the same once they are posted.
Last time I wrote a 3-pager I asked the director if it was OK if I had 3.5. Technically, 3.5 isn't 4 and is still 3. It was OK, but in the end, those 3.5 pages ended up running for 6 minutes.
If dialogue is kept to a minimum, 3 pages can tell a lot of story.
Seeing as a bout of carpal tunnel has knocked me out of work for a little while, I just may be able to slowly tap away on the keys and make the deadline.
I won't start earlier cuz some people might not notice the change in time. But I'm not entirely opposed to extending the deadline to Monday. I purposely set it for the weekend figuring that's when people would have the most free time. Maybe that's not the case.
A normal challenge is usually 6-10 pages in 7 days and people manage that. I want it to be difficult but not impossible. What do people think? I'm willing to tack on one extra day. But I gotta hear some compelling arguments. Weekend skiing is not a good enough reason haha.
For me, like I said, I don't and won't spend any time writing or thinking about writing on weekends. Mondays, being the start of the week, are also tough.
No big deal. I'll read as many as I can and we'll call it cool.

Yeah, no worries. Appreciate you taking the time to give feedback on scripts even when not in. And just think folks, if you write a script that's only one page, Jeff can't bail on page one!
I just got finished with the 48 Hour Film project, so I'm in excellent shape for this right now, and three days to write a script is much more reasonable than making a short film in 48 hours. I think a three hour challenge would be the real titty twister!!

We actually had a producer show up one time and asked for a script he could shoot that weekend. He had access to a hospital. Several SS members wrote scripts in just a couple of hours for him. Some turned out pretty good. My entry ended up being filmed, although by a different filmmaker. Sometimes, stress and adrenaline just works well with the creative mind.
