Congrats to Rene! Also Dave, John, and Cam.

Jeff's challenge definitely brought out a lot of great dramas, three at the top. But no lesbians...


That rug really tied the room together.

Hahaha...looks like I came back just in time to steal the win.  

Lots of great talent on display in this challenge. Jeff made us dig deep and made drama the genre of choice for a change. All in all a great OWC with a lot of fun and creative reads. And some good controversy!

@ Rene- I knew the character limit was an obstacle in your gameplan. I've been to Dutch Harbor countless times and there's a story to be told there separate from what we all see on TV. That said, you displayed good skill for a week worth of research and ink.

@ Dave L - You continue to impress with your writing style and this is just another example of why I'm surprised youre not working in Hollywood already.

@ Staats - Never read anything of yours but I'm willing to read more. Love some of your visual storytelling techniques.

@ Mr. Gray - Terribly superb. Out of all the entries, I felt Plight is authentic and could be captivating on film. I saw some criticism in the dialogue, but I'd disagree on the argument of setting. Writing needs to be tightened up if you're considering a showcase beyond OWC, nevertheless it's a killer script and I enjoyed its thematic ending, one that I hope my own perspective resonated with your intentions.

@ Dustin - I didn't see that coming, and to be honest, the reveal you wrote Deathly Shade inserts my questions about the protag's motives in the category of "trust the artist". That still doesn't curb my interest and insight is welcome. Also, good to see ya again.

@ Clark - Hilarious stuff, keep it on paper. If for some reason all these comedies translate to you on stage at the Laugh Factory you might need intervention. Keep it coming!

I missed a few entires, I'll stagger some reads to cover them throughout the weekend. Great work and effort from all.

Damn...I didn't even realize this was up already.  Cool!

Congrats to Rene - I'm pretty sure this was indeed the best and I'm glad the voters got it right.

Looks like a bunch of my guesses on who wrote what were correct, but I'm impressed those I called out didn't give it away.

I was almost sure Dustin wrote that Deathly Shade script, but he stuck to his guns about not entering.

Once Khamanna suggested Sandra wrote White Icing, I knew she was spot on.

And, I was almost 100% sure Dan wrote Daughter of Gore, but he too didn't reveal anything to make it obvious - and Dan, IMO, this is by far your best work here. Sure, it needs some help, but in places, it's well done.

Good job, everyone and glad most seemed to enjoy this challenge.

Well done Rene, a thoroughly deserved win. Twas consistently solid throughout and a cracking wee read.

And cheers for the votes ladies and gents, bit of a surprise. I really was worried I'd butchered mine. Shall explain bits and bobs in the thread as annoyingly doing a drama rather than comedy brings up questions, just glad it worked for some folk as it really ain't my scene.

Well done everyone, look forward to the next already.

Great work Rene, loved the research you did for the setting. I had about 5 that I liked on an even scale and yours was one as was Dave's, John's and Cam's.
