BEGIN ACID DREAM:

EXT. CANDY FOREST UNDER THE SEA - DAY

A liquid sun bathes the narrow path through licorice trees and cotton candy flora.

Our hero swims in a state of bliss.

Thanks!  Wasn't sure if ACID TRIP or DREAM needed further clarification.

22 pages in, struggling to write this one. I usually finish a rough draft of my features in one or two weeks, but nothing is coming out at the moment. Hopefully the long weekend will be the cure to finally start banging out some good pages!

Thanks Kevin for giving Johnny a good example.

Mo, is there anything in particular we can help you with? What are you struggling with? That's what this 7WC is for, help everyone to complete a feature. Let us know your problem.

As far as the sex and violence goes, I'm just warning people, because my scripts have caused people to leave the site in the past.

Thanks for the offer to help, Pia . But I think this is just me refusing to force myself to write. I'm hoping it's just a little bump and I can finish by the deadline.

Good luck everyone!

Mo, try this: one idea per cup of coffee.

So if you sit down to 3 cups a day, try to solve one problem or come up with one idea each cup. I mean if you solve even just 2 problems a day, you'll have a script in a few weeks.

I think sometimes people put pressure on themselves to solve everything at once. A couple little steps a day will get you through. The writing is the easy part. It's the ideas that are the challenge. Couple a day does the trick.

I have confidence in you! I still remember your kick ass short. You still the man!

I'm with you buddy... We should combine our scripts, at least that way, we'll be halfway done

Pretty good there Michael!

Here's an outtake from mine.


Kyle taps away on the phone. Ryan waits patiently, checks out the crowd.

Kyle�s eyebrows rise in surprise at what he sees on the phone. He nods in approval. Smirks. After a while, his face get more serious. Shows concern even.

KYLE
What�s her name?

RYAN
Sandra. Why? What you looking at?

Kyle looks up at Ryan, with a frown.

KYLE
So, how long have you known this chick? I haven�t heard you saying a word about her before.

Ryan checks his watch.

RYAN
About five hours.

KYLE
Five hours? You sure about that?

Kyle leans forward, shows the cell phone screen to Ryan.

KYLE
Then how do you explain this?

Ryan grabs the phone. He frowns in confusion.

On the screen is a picture of Ryan lounging by a swimming pool. Ryan scrolls to the next picture. It�s of him at a grocery store. Next picture is of him getting into his car.
Ryan scrolls faster to more pictures. There are dozens of them. Hundreds. All of Ryan in various situations.

RYAN
What the fuck...

Sounds familiar.

What's your title, genre and logline?

Dead Ringer. Why does it sound familiar?

Quoted from Grandma Bear Here's an outtake from mine.

In context of what comes before this, it has the feeling like it's all been predetermined in some way.  I don't get how the phone was empty in one scene and overflows with pics the next.  Looks like we got a Scooby-Doo mystery on our hands.

An excerpt from NEON GAY:

Jimmy steals the phone away from Milton.

JIMMY
Who is this?

DISTURBING VOICE (V.O.)
Tracy or Stacey?

JIMMY
I don’t know who you are, but listen up asshole.  I’m not going to be your Tracy or Stacey doll.  And I’m sure as hell not going to stop the thunder over some guy who thinks he can bribe me with a fucking phone.  On the other hand, I do thank you for the phone and I hope my respectful denial of your request doesn’t cause you to have regrets about sending me such a thoughtful gift.

Jimmy rolls his eyes.

DISTURBING VOICE (V.O.)
Stacey.

JIMMY
Why can’t I be Barbie motherfucker?

The phone clicks silent.

Hey guys -- and Will, especially.  Sadly I have to pull out of this.

My uncle passed tonight and my mom was really attached to her brother.

Just a couple of months earlier, her father passed as well.

So it's two in a row and it's hard hitting.  My attention needs to be else where.


I'm pretty messed up over this too.

Sorry again.... but I'll see you guys around.


Take it easy.

What sad news, Reaper, my prayers are with your family tonight.  Attention is for sure in the right place.

Steven,

Sorry to hear the news about your uncle. My deepest condolences go out to you and your family.
