Anyone know how long we have left? I just woke up to an email and have no idea how long it's been sitting there. I'm sure I could work it out but my maths is shit.

Yeah I just saw mine too.  Couple of questions.  Open budget?  Actually silly query cos the one I got is high budget anyway lol.  Do both contestants get the same one to write?  Is there a theme behind the log? Or just random stuff in what is basically a long scene I guess. TIA

I don't think this is a "breadcrumb" as Dustin put it, but I really thought the perimeters of the challenge would be easier considering the time constraints. I think I'd struggle to get something out in a normal OWC with mine.

Will give it a shot but not looking good already.

Did I read in here somewhere that we can't use more than 5 characters?

What if they don't speak?

Okay - submitted. One two hour session did the trick. We'll see if it shows.

An odd feeling this one - almost looking forward to not moving forward to be relieved of having to write another one. Normally I'm chomping at the bit.

Look forward to see what folks come up with.

I'm actually having a hard time with mine. I think I'll play some Fortnite to let my mind wander and hit it up again later.


A Picture Is Worth

If you want me to read your script, send me a link.

I don't believe in budget constraints. Yes, the person you've been paired with received an identical set of parameters. Try to write a complete story. I will say that the MoviePoet vets will probably have the advantage on this one.

If you did read that, it wasn't from me. No character limit. Just be smart about how you use them, due to the page limit.
